Different types of switch?
There are several types of switches used in networking, including unmanaged switches, managed switches, and smart switches. Unmanaged switches are simple plug-and-play devices that do not offer configuration options, making them suitable for small networks. Managed switches provide advanced features like traffic management, VLAN support, and remote monitoring, ideal for larger or more complex networks. Smart switches offer a middle ground, allowing some level of configuration while being easier to manage than fully managed switches.
Which two features makes switches preferable to hubs in ethernet-based network?
reduction in cross-talk **minimizing of collisions support for UTP cabling division into broadcast domains **increase in the throughput of communications
What connects networks of the same type?
Switches, hubs...
Sophisticated networks generally use which of the following hardware devices to ease the flow of data packets throughout the network?
Modern networks used two devices for the data packets within the network will flow easily. The two devices are the routers and switches.
A type of hardware device that can be used to interconnect networks?
Switches
What is a node that connects two different networks?
Two different networks are connected by a router. Switches are used to connect network devices within networks.
How catalyst switch different from the simple switch?
Catalyst switches have support for several technologies that may be used in larger networks, and that are not available on home switches - for example, VLANs, and STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol), as well as options for port security.Catalyst switches have support for several technologies that may be used in larger networks, and that are not available on home switches - for example, VLANs, and STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol), as well as options for port security.Catalyst switches have support for several technologies that may be used in larger networks, and that are not available on home switches - for example, VLANs, and STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol), as well as options for port security.Catalyst switches have support for several technologies that may be used in larger networks, and that are not available on home switches - for example, VLANs, and STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol), as well as options for port security.
What are the characteristics of an enterprise level switches?
Enterprise-level switches are designed for high performance, reliability, and scalability in large networks. They typically support advanced features such as VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Layer 3 routing capabilities. These switches also offer redundancy and high availability through technologies like link aggregation and power over Ethernet (PoE). Additionally, they often include robust security features and management options for enhanced control and monitoring of network traffic.
A network technician is evaluating the desirable features of both access and distribution layer switches Which two features are common to switches at these two layers?
qos, link aggregation
What device separates collision domains?
Bridges, Switches and Routers will all separate collision domains.
What is the main function of an edge device?
They are routers, switches, routing switches, IAD's multiplexers, and a variety of MAN and WAN access devices that provide entry points into enterprise or service provider core networks. Edge devices also provide connections into carrier and service provider networks. They provide access to faster, more efficient backbone and core networks.
Why do LANs tend to use brodcast networks Why not use networks consisting of multiplers and switches?
Broadcasts are necessary at local network levels. ARP is on of the broadcasts but it's required for existence of a local network.
