Frequently Asked Questions about network switches

Here are 8 FAQs about network switches:

What is a network switch?

A network switch is a networking device that connects multiple devices together on a local area network (LAN) and enables them to communicate with each other.

What are the different types of network switches?

There are three main types of network switches: unmanaged switches, managed switches, and smart switches.

What is the difference between an unmanaged and a managed switch?

An unmanaged switch provides basic connectivity between devices without any configuration options, while a managed switch offers advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS), VLANs, and port mirroring.

What is a smart switch?

A smart switch is a type of network switch that offers some of the features of a managed switch but is easier to set up and manage.

What is Quality of Service (QoS)?

Quality of Service (QoS) is a feature of managed switches that enables network administrators to prioritize network traffic and ensure that important data packets are delivered with higher priority.

What is a VLAN?

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a feature of managed switches that enables network administrators to group devices together into separate virtual networks, even though they are physically connected to the same switch.

What is port mirroring?

Port mirroring is a feature of managed switches that enables network administrators to monitor network traffic by copying the data packets that pass through a specific port to another port.

Can network switches be used for home networking?

Yes, network switches can be used for home networking to connect multiple devices together, such as computers, gaming consoles, and smart TVs, and enable them to communicate with each other.
