Network switch

0 Comments »
A network switch is a computer networking device that connects network segments.
The term commonly refers to a network bridge that processes and routes data at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Switches that additionally process data at the network layer (layer 3 and above) are often referred to as Layer 3 switches or multilayer switches.
The term network switch does not generally encompass unintelligent or passive network devices such as hubs and repeaters.
The first Ethernet switch was introduced by Kalpana in 1990.
Typical SOHO network switch.

SOHO / Workgroup Switch  With 16 / 24 10/100Mbps ports, the Fast Ethernet Switch provides a cost-effective and high-performance solution for SOHO / SMB workgroup. To segment the network and ease the network traffic, the Fast Ethernet Switch is useful for SOHO switched networks as the friendly network backbone. Because of providing array LED indicators, the network status can be monitored at a glance
