  2. Ethernet crossover cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable

    An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly. It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type, e.g. two computers (via their network interface controllers ) or two switches to each other.

  3. Network switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, Ethernet switch, and, by the IEEE, MAC bridge [1]) is networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device. A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data ...

  4. Dual-homed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-homed

    In Ethernet LANs, dual-homing is a network topology whereby a networked device is built with more than one network interface. Each interface or port is connected to the network, but only one connection is active at a time. The other connection is activated only if the primary connection fails.

  5. Crossover cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_cable

    connecting two devices directly, output of one to input of the other, letting two terminal (DTE) devices communicate without an interconnecting hub knot, i.e. PCs, linking two or more hubs, switches or routers (DCE) together, possibly to work as one wider device. In contrast, a straight-through cable uses direct wiring to connect complementary ...

  6. Ethernet hub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_hub

    4-port 10BASE-T Ethernet hub with selectable MDI-X/MDI port 8-port Ethernet hub with one 10BASE2 connector and eight 10BASE-T ports. An Ethernet hub, active hub, network hub, repeater hub, multiport repeater, or simply hub [a] is a network hardware device for connecting multiple Ethernet devices together and making them act as a single network segment.

  7. Medium-dependent interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-dependent_interface

    The terminology generally refers to variants of the Ethernet over twisted pair technology that use a female 8P8C port connection on a computer, or other network device. The X refers to the fact that transmit wires on an MDI device must be connected to receive wires on an MDI-X device.

  8. Multihoming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multihoming

    Multihoming is the practice of connecting a host or a computer network to more than one network. This can be done in order to increase reliability or performance. A typical host or end-user network is connected to just one network. Connecting to multiple networks can increase reliability because if one connection fails, packets can still be routed through the remaining connection. Connecting ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networking_hardware

    Networking hardware, also known as network equipment or computer networking devices, are electronic devices that are required for communication and interaction between devices on a computer network. Specifically, they mediate data transmission in a computer network. [ 1 ]
