Explanation:
The following are the components used for network and Internet communications and their appropriate
descriptions:
Router: Separates broadcast domains while connecting different networks. Routers provide a medium for
connecting Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN) segments
Hub: Provides a common connection point for the network devices. Hubs are generally used for LAN
segmentation. A hub also regenerates the signal when it passes through its ports. Hub works at Layer 1 of
the Open system Interconnection (OSI) model.
Switch: Used to provide a separate connection for each node in a company’s internal network. Switches
work at Layer 2 in the OSI model and perform the function of separating collision domains.
Firewall: Used to secure the network against unauthorized and malicious access attempts.
