Paper Lab: ICONS for Computer Diagrams<br />

Objective:<br />

To learn about ICONS used in <strong>CISCO</strong> drawings and for what each represents.<br />

Tools and Materials:<br />

None.<br />

Step-By-Step Instructions:<br />

Let’s just go through all of them one <strong>by</strong> one:<br />

Router—Layer 3 device. Models include 2500 and 2600<br />

series for access layer.<br />

Communication Server—This provide access to<br />

networking devices over a LAN or WAN using Serial Line<br />

Internet Protocol (SLIP). You won’t probably use this too<br />

much since other technologies are getting cheaper and<br />

easier to use.<br />

Gateway—Device that acts as a “gateway” to the network<br />

or Internet.<br />

Bridge—Old school layer 2 device not used too much<br />

anymore.<br />

Workgroup switch—Layer 2 device that you will use<br />

plenty. A CCIE-guy told me “one good future in<br />

networking is in switching” (the other is in security).<br />

100BaseT hub—Not used too much anymore since<br />

switches cost about the same.<br />
