Router
Routes packets to remote networks by examining the packet's network source and destination address. Routers reduce broadcast storms because they don't route broadcast packets. Routers can connect dissimilar network architectures. The destination address of the packet must match an entry in the routing table of the router; otherwise, the packet is discarded. Cisco routers run on the IOS- Internetworking Operating System. IOS is the Cisco's operating system. Cisco router can route over 20 different protocols. A separate routing table is maintained for each protocol. CCNA exam concentrates mostly on 2 routable protocols-IP and IPX. Routers operate at the Network layer of the OSI model.
