**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.
