Question

based on the back view of the network rack below, match each component on the left to the label displayed on the network rack image. keyboard instructions drag fiber patch panel ethernet router server ethernet patch panel ethernet switch drop a b c d e

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each component's typical appearance and placement in a network rack:

Step 1: Identify Component A

Component A (top device with Ethernet ports) is an Ethernet router (routers handle network routing and often have WAN/LAN ports at the top).

Step 2: Identify Component B

Component B (middle device with multiple Ethernet ports and switching functionality) is an Ethernet switch (switches manage local network traffic with port arrays).

Step 3: Identify Component C

Component C (panel with Ethernet ports and patch cables) is an Ethernet patch panel (patch panels organize Ethernet cable connections).

Step 4: Identify Component D

Component D (panel with fiber connectors) is a Fiber patch panel (fiber patch panels manage fiber optic cable connections).

Step 5: Identify Component E

Component E (bottom device with server - like form factor) is a Server (servers provide computing/resources and are often rack - mounted at the bottom).

Answer:

A: Ethernet router
B: Ethernet switch
C: Ethernet patch panel
D: Fiber patch panel
E: Server
