Devices Here is a list of the devices you can put on the network and their functions.

  • Switch - A managed network switch. It learns the MAC addresses on the network and does VLANs. Has spanning-tree Protocol perpetually enabled.

  • net_hub - A hub can have an IP address, but it does not learn MAC addresses. It broadcasts packets out all ports which are connected.

  • server - A server can serve DHCP. Only has wired networks.

  • laptop - A laptop has both an ethernet and wireless connection.

  • pc - Only has an ethernet connection.

  • router - Has multiple ethernet connections and routes packets between them.

  • ip_phone - Only has a wireless connection. Can only be configured by DHCP

  • firewall - Has a WAN connection and multiple LAN connections. Does VLANs. Can serve DHCP. Can do VPNs.

  • printer - A wired device

  • copier - A wired device

  • microwave - Has no network connection. A microwave disrupts wireless devices around it.

  • fluorescent light - A fluorescent light disrupts wired connections that are too close to it.

  • Wireless Access Point - An access point with one ethernet connection and one wireless connection. Set the SSID and Key on it to function.

  • Wireless Router - The most complex device on the network. It has a firewall, does VLANs, can serve DHCP, can do VPNs, has a built-in switch, and has wireless capabilities.

  • Wireless Bridge - A wireless bridge. A wireless client, for joining a wired network to a wireless network.

  • Wireless Repeater - A repeater. It has two antennas, one as a client, and one as a server. For extending wireless links that are too long.

  • cellphone - A device that has only wireless

  • tablet - A device that has only wireless

  • link - An ethernet cable that joins two devices. You can join a wireless device with an access-point. Doing so will set the SSID and Key on the client to match what is on the Access Point. Note: When creating a link, you can specify what type of link to make. You can create a broken link, which looks like it is attached, but network packets cannot go between devices.

  • Selection Arrow - Use this for dragging and dropping, selecting, and editing things on the network.
