Fiber optic interconnected star has its known destination. Star networks require more wire it features a hub, switch or router lending to several different connections.
I believe it's a router. I have this question on a test the choices are. router, hub, layer 2 switch or firewall. I answered layer 2 switch. It was wrong.
Yes, most computer networks consist of many computers that are usually connected by a networking device such as a hub, switch or access point. This type of a network is called a LAN.
A router allows communication between two different networks. A hub just links devices in a network.
True. At the center of the star is a hub, or a switch.
No. A hub is hardware that connects different devices within a single network. You probably are thinking of a switch or router.
Yes. The switch is acting as a "hub" between the various clients on the network.
For a small LAN network, a switch is best. To connect two or more LAN networks, a router is required. (2) From Jean Andrews CompTIA A+ sixth edition (page #852): You can use a crossover cable to connect to computers without a switch or hub making it the simplest network of all. For two or more you will need a switch, hub, or router.
Either through the use of switch, hub, or an access point for wireless communications.
You would have to be a little more specific.
