it depends on the design, location and how many building in your enterprise. but most switches are 48 ports and you may need on 1 router or 2, it just depends
A network can function fairly easily with just one router, the router is used to access the internet and in small home it is also the network switch that connects all the home computers together. It is not necessary to connect 4 routers together on the same network because each router will try to assign an ip-adress to each of the computers on the network resulting in many conflicts. If you did want to do this type of network (depending on your circumstances, i know of schools that use routers as small network switches for each room) then I suggest that you disable DHCP and all server attributes of the routers. Then you use a star network configuration for the 4 routers that are connected elsewhere, use long Ethernet cables to link the routers to a network switch each; from there have the 2 remaining network switches in the same room and have them in a redundancy layout. Connect the 4 router and switch pairs to the redundancy pair. This network is very inefficient and very costly but you have the capability to join a small office to a larger office four times over in the same network. It is not recommended that you do this.
Depends on how many switches each router takes. You need a router to connect all the other routers, and then enough switches to make 81. For example, you can use 6 16 port routers to connect the computers and 1 8 port router to connect those routers together
Sort of. Remote infrastructure monitoring would fall under network monitoring. Network monitoring in general focuses on the monitoring of your network infrastructure: things like switches, routers, etc. Remote just means your monitoring it from outside the network, and is a feature available in many solutions.
Many Wireless routers and switches have few inbuilt switching ports capable of connecting Wired computers to Wireless Computers on the same network to connect wired Computers also alongwith. (Not necessarily every every wireless router will be having switching ports)
Not likely. For a start, they are much more expensive. They may also require special configuration. There are many layer 2 switches unmanaged, working with default settings for basic networks. Not everyone needs Layer 3 operations, therefore it doesn't make sense to buy expensive switches with many possibilities for basic operation. If a simple network even needs layer 3 switching, a router can be used in many cases for this purpose. Unfortunately routers are less powerful than switches, therefore it is not recommended solution. Proper answer is very complex, therefore it really depends on the situation.
Routers operate at layer 3 of the OSI model while switches operate at layer 2. The data transmission form of a router is called a packet while in a switch, it is called a frame. Routers are mainly used in wide area networks while switches are used in local area networks.
ICT tools refers to the components that are used in information technology systems. Some of them include telephones, modems, routers, computers, switches, network cables and so many more.
The role of ethernet switches in a network is to allow computers and other devices to talk to each other. This also allows many users to access a shared device such as a printer.
A datagram can pass through multiple routers, depending on the network topology and the destination. There's no fixed limit to the number of routers; it can be as few as one or two for local communication or many more in complex networks spanning large distances. Each router processes the datagram and forwards it toward its destination based on routing protocols. Ultimately, the number of routers a datagram traverses is determined by the path taken through the network.
Since local area networks are small in size and geographic location, a building may contain several LANs connected together with routers. It is very common to have many LANs within a building, either as true physical LANs or logical VLANs through managed switches.
One can find a GB network switch at many electronic stores. Best Buy has a wide selection of these type of switches in their inventory. These switches can come in different storage masses as well.
they report 150 employees, however this report is only for about 3 months.
