What is a managed switch used for?
A managed switch is a network switch, which is used for connecting computers and network devices. It is handy because it allows you to handle individual ports of the switch.
Can i connect a switch that function as a router to another router for local area network?
A switch cannot function as a router. But you can plug a switch in to one of the ports on the router if you need additional ports.
What is the max number of ports on a switch?
The minimum number of ports on most brands of switches is four. While there is no industry rule that limits the number of ports on a single switch, practical application has shown that a minimum of four ports is about right.
How many ports are there in a network switch and how are they connected?
There are typically 5 to 24 ports on a network switch, though real high end switches can house more. Internally the ports are connected with copper wires.
Why should unused ports on a switch be disabled?
Unused ports in a switch should be disabled to prevent an attacker from using the port to attack the network from the inside, or to "listen" in on data conversations.
How do you instal the Tritton 4-USB Port Network Hub & Switch?
Simply plug into your network and share 4 USB ports.
Why would network techs use stranded core cabling from a patch's ports to a switch?

What TCPIP utilities can show that a network switch is operating correctly between a host and its default gateway?
connectivity between host and switch can be examined by light of switch ports.
Can two ethernet cables with a spliter come from the computer?
You can either have two network cards, or a switch. A switch for a home network is fairly cheap, and has 8 ports - i.e., you can connect up to 8 computers. Just think of the switch as the "splitter".
What places switch ports in blocking or forwarding states?
In a network using the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), ports on network switches can be in either a blocking or forwarding state. Ports in the forwarding state actively send and receive data, while those in the blocking state do not forward frames to prevent loops in the network topology. Switches dynamically switch ports between these states based on the network topology and the need to maintain a loop-free environment, particularly during changes such as link failures or topology changes. The root bridge and designated ports are typically in forwarding state, while non-designated ports may be blocked to prevent loops.
How do you connect systems in a network switch?
connect modem to the E0 port. then connect ethernet cables from various ports to systems.
Whart are the switch and bridge port characteristic of a layer two spaming-tree network that is fullycoverged?
a. All switch and bridge ports are in the forwarding state. b. All lkswitch and bridge ports are in the stand by state. c. All switch and bridge parts are assigned as either root or designed. d. All switch and bridge ports are in either the forwarding or blocking state. e. All switch and bridge are either blocking or looping.
