The Switch by paying attention to the traffic that comes across it, it can "learn" where particular addresses are. For example, if it sees traffic from machine A coming in on port 2, it now knows that machine A is connected to that port and that traffic tomachine A needs to only be sent to that port and not any of the others. The net result of using a switch over a hub is that most of the network traffic only goes where it needs to rather than to every port. On busy networks this can make the network significantly faster.
A typical switch will connect machines and networked devices in a local intranet. This way each device can communicate with each other.
Which of the following scenarios depict a workgroup network
A switch is useful only when you have more than 1 system to connect to a network or through a cable or DSL modem.
a network/workgroup
This is a peer-to-peer network, where all devices in the workgroup have equal status. In this model there is no central management of the network (or any network management at all).
the best way to do this is to connect both computer to a router or switch and set them up as a workgroup or VPN
Peer-to-peer network
A peer to peer network.

A workgroup is a logical collection of computers that share resources. (or) A work group is a collection of computers that share resources.
