To Wrap

Modem - where your internet starts

Firewall - where rules are set (sometimes DHCP/DNS)

Server - where devices get their place on the network and find the internet (DHCP/DNS)

Core Switch - the first device that splits the network

Switch - connects to core switch and distributes network to more of the building
