4.1.2.4 Lab - Identifying Network Devices And Cabling

Lab A - Identifying Network Devices and Cabling Objectives Part 1: Identify Network Devices Part 2: Identify Network Media

Background / Scenario As a member of the networking support staff, you must be able to identify different networking equipment. You must also understand the function of equipment in the appropriate part of the network. In this lab, you will have access to network devices and media. You will identify the type and characteristics of the network equipment and media.

Part 1: Identify Network Devices Your instructor will provide various network devices for identification. Each will be tagged with an ID number. Fill in the table below with the device tag ID number, manufacturer, device model, type (hub, switch, and router), functionality (wireless, router, switch, or combination), and other physical characteristics, such as number of interface types. The first line is filled out as a reference.
