A switch is a networking device that connects multiple devices within a local area network (LAN) and uses packet switching to forward data to the correct destination. It operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, efficiently managing data traffic by using MAC addresses to direct packets only to the intended recipient, thereby reducing collisions and improving overall network performance. Switches can also provide features such as VLAN support and port security to enhance network management and security.
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.
A CSS (Cluster Switch System) network is used to simplify the network architecture and improve network efficiency. It is used to correct the inefficiencies of the standard Ethernet network.
A crossover cable is used to connect a Hub or Switch to another Hub or Switch - or a PC to another PC.
Star network
a) A router b) A switch c) All of the above
it reduces interference and if one is comprised the network will switch to the other frequency.
This allows web-based configuration tools to be used with the switch.
It can improve the LAN performance.
This allows web-based configuration tools to be used with the switch.
You can use either a network hub or a network switch to set up your network
Yes, switch as well as hub and router are network devices.
