2 . Repeater -: It is a Network device which use to
Regenerate or amplifier the signal
èIts
use with Coaxial cable
èIt
use two LAN segment at a time
èIt
is non intelligent device because it does not understand the LAN card MAC
address. It create the collision
3 . Bridge -: It is a Network device which use to
regenerate or amplifier the signal
èIt
is an advance version of repeater
èIt
connect the multiple lan segment at a time (up to 8)
èIt
is an intelligent device because it understand LAN card MAC Address
èIt
does not create the collision
