I would like to share with you what is the device that connects the file server and the workstation in the star local area network structure. I believe most people don't know much about it, so share this article for your reference. I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article, let's learn about it!

In the star LAN structure, the device connecting the file server and the workstation is the hub, and the main function of the hub is to regenerate, shape and amplify the received signal in order to expand the transmission distance of the network. at the same time, all nodes are concentrated on the nodes with it as the center, which belongs to the basic equipment in the local area network.

In the star LAN structure, the device that connects the file server and the workstation is a hub.

In the star local area network structure, a hub is used to connect the file server and the workstation.

The hub is called "Hub" in English. "Hub" means "center". The main function of the hub is to regenerate, reshape and amplify the received signal in order to expand the transmission distance of the network, while concentrating all nodes on the nodes centered on it. It works in the first layer of the reference model of OSI (Open Systems Interconnection reference Model), that is, the physical layer. Like network cards, network cables and other transmission media, hubs belong to the basic equipment in the local area network, which adopts CSMA/CD (carrier sensing multiple access technology with collision detection) media access control mechanism. Each interface of the hub simply sends and receives bits. When it receives 1, it forwards 1, and when it receives 0, it forwards 0. There is no collision detection.

The hub (hub) belongs to the hardware network underlying equipment, basically does not have the "intelligent memory" ability and "learning" ability similar to the switch. It also does not have the MAC address table that the switch has, so it sends data without pertinence, but by broadcast. In other words, when it wants to send data to a node, it does not send the data directly to the destination node, but sends the packet to all nodes connected to the hub, as shown in the figure, simple and clear.

HUB is a multi-port transponder. When taking HUB as the central device, a line in the network has a fault, which does not affect the work of other lines. So HUB has been widely used in local area network. Most of the time it is used in star and tree network topologies, connecting to hosts with RJ45 interfaces (there are also BNC interfaces). There are many kinds of HUB according to different terms.

Brief introduction

A hub (Hub) is a device that connects multiple Ethernet twisted pairs or optical fiber sets under the same physical medium. A hub is the physical layer that operates in the OSI model. It can be seen as a multi-port repeater, and if it detects a collision, it will submit a blocking signal.

Hubs usually attach BNC and/or AUI adapters to connect to traditional 10BASE2 or 10BASE5 networks.

Because the hub will regenerate or amplify any digital signal received and submit it from all ports of the hub, there is a high chance of collision between the signals, and the signal may also be eavesdropped. and this means that all devices connected to the hub belong to the same collision domain name and broadcast domain name, so most of the hubs have been replaced by switches.
