Network Gateway Router

Gateway Router in Network Diagrams

In Computer Networks exists a Gateway Router that serves as an access point to another network. In computing configurations, a gateway often provides a physical device which both connects local hardware to the Internet. Such devices include various routers. ConceptDraw has numerous pre-designed network gateway routers for all possible types of networks:

Cisco Networks
Apple Networks
IVR Networks
GPRS Networks

Computer and Networks solution from ConceptDraw Solution Park provides libraries of vector stencils for network diagram elements as gateway routers, firewalls, servers, WAN and LAN routers and switches, computers, network peripherals, etc.

Use ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software enhanced with Computer and networks solution to draw different types of network diagrams: physical layout and topology, LAN and WAN, Cisco, Apple, Wi-Fi wireless and Ethernet wired networks, etc.

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is the only application on the Macintosh platform, supplied with a comprehensive Cisco icon set. For graphic solutions that support Windows, only Microsoft Visio has a library of Cisco shapes. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a valuable option to many network professionals that use Macintosh computers or work in a combined Mac and PC environment.

Star Network Topology →

Nodes of any computer network are somehow organized in a hierarchy or a layout. Some of the common layouts like star network topology are more reliable and some like ring topology withstand high loads better. It is also important to distinguish logical topologies from physical. This diagram represents a typical view of the star network topology. The star network topology is one of the most frequently used network topologies in the majority of office and home networks. It is very popular because of its low cost and the easy maintenance. The plus of the star network topology is that if one computer on the local network is downed, this means that only the failed computer can not send or receive data. The other part of the network works normally. The minus of using star network topology is that all computers are connected to a single point-switch, or hub. Thus, if this equipment goes down, the whole local network comes down.

Local area network connects computers and other network appliances within an area, such as office building or a campus. It can be difficult to provide such network without a predesigned plan. For these purposes you can use network diagram software, which helps you to create LAN network diagrams and office network diagrams quickly and effortless. This will speed up your work and you can save the diagram for the future network improvements. The following diagram illustrates a network topology of the small office. LAN configuration has a star topology. The local network joins 8 computers among which are several desktop PCs, laptop, two iMacs and iBook. The end-point devices are divided into three groups. Each group is connected to its hub. There is a network printer and a modem, which are interconnected with other devices through a network server. Each computer on the LAN can access the server through a corresponding hub.
