Abstract

The configuration and speed of your business network can be greatly affected by your understanding of the many types of switches used in networking. The configuration and speed of your business network can be greatly affected by your understanding of the many types of switches used in networking. This article will assist you in comprehending the fundamental features and benefits of several network switches so you can choose the one that best suits your networking requirements.

There are switch models that incorporate routing as well, which can be thought of as Layer 3 devices as well. A network switch typically functions at Layer 2 of the OSI model (working with the Ethernet protocol). The classic hardware switch with multiple Ethernet ports is still a necessary node in all networks,  even though switches are now available as software modules in virtualization technologies (such as Vmware NSX, etc.), (home, small business, large corporate networks, etc.).
