Different between star networks and interconnected star?
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.
This device serves as a gateway between two subnets It sends and receives packets between networks?

Is it true that Most computer networks consist of many computers and are usually connected by a networking device such as a hub switch or access point?
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.
What is the main difference between a router and a 12port hub?
A router allows communication between two different networks. A hub just links devices in a network.
True or false most Ethernet networks are based on the star topology?
True. At the center of the star is a hub, or a switch.
Is a hub a combination of software and hardware that links two different types of networks?
No. A hub is hardware that connects different devices within a single network. You probably are thinking of a switch or router.
In a network could you just work with a switch and never touch a hub or a bridge?
Yes. The switch is acting as a "hub" between the various clients on the network.
What connecting device do you use for a small LAN for two or more connected networks?
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.
How can you connect two different networks without using routers?
Either through the use of switch, hub, or an access point for wireless communications.
What cable is used between a switch and a hub?
You would have to be a little more specific.
