+ * 1.1 Explain the role and function of network components
+ * 1.1 a Routers
+ A router is a device on Layer 3, the network layer, that forwards traffic between local area networks based on their IP addresses.
+ Routers have a routing table that lists known networks and the best paths to reach them. Routers are an essential part for breaking up broadcast
+ domains, enabling communication between different IP networks, and applying network policies.
+ * 1.1.b Layer 2 and Layer 3 Switches
