15-1 CONNECTING DEVICES In this section,we divide connecting devices into five different categories based on the layer in which they operate in a network. Topics discussed in this section: ●Passive Hubs(无源集线器) ●Active Hubs(有源集线器) Bridges(桥) ●Two-Layer Switches(二层交换) ●Routers(路由器) ●Three-Layer Switches(三层交换) ●Gateways(网关) 15.2

Note A passive hub is just a connector. 无源集线器只是个连接器，连接来自不同分支 的线路 在星型拓扑中，无源集线器只是一个来自不同 站点的信号冲突点，集线器是冲突点 15.4
