Lab A - Identifying Network Devices and Cabling

Objectives
Part 1: Identify Network Devices
Part 2: Identify Network Media

Background / Scenario
As a member of the networking support staff, you must be able to identify different networking equipment.
You must also understand the function of equipment in the appropriate part of the network. In this lab, you will
have access to network devices and media. You will identify the type and characteristics of the network
equipment and media.

Part 1: Identify Network Devices

Your instructor will provide various network devices for identification. Each will be tagged with an ID number.
Fill in the table below with the device tag ID number, manufacturer, device model, type (hub, switch, and
router), functionality (wireless, router, switch, or combination), and other physical characteristics, such as
number of interface types. The first line is filled out as a reference.

Part 2: Identify Network Media

Your instructor will provide various network media for identification. You will name the network media, identify
the media type (copper, fiber optic, or wireless), and provide a short media description including what device
types it connects. Use the table below to record your findings. The first line in the table has been filled out as
a reference.
