Lab – My Local Network

Objectives
• Record all of different network attached devices in your home or classroom.
• Investigate how each device connects to the network to send and receive information.
• Create a diagram showing the topology of your network.
• Label each device with its function within the network.

Background
The path that a message takes from its source to destination can be as simple as a single cable connecting
one computer to another or as complex as a network that literally spans the globe. The network
infrastructure contains three categories of hardware components:
• End devices
• Intermediary network devices
• Network media
Take a close look at the network you have at home or school. Record the network and end-user devices that
are connected on the local network.
