Networking devices are hardware components used to facilitate communication and interaction between devices on a computer network. In this course, you'll learn about various networking devices to determine when and where to use them on a network. Explore common devices such as switches and routers, in addition to network appliances used for more specialized tasks such as the intrusion prevention system (IPS), intrusion detection system (IDS), proxy servers, and network-attached and storage area networks. Lastly, discover common networking functions including quality of service (QoS), virtual private network (VPN), and time to live (TTL). This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) certification exam.
