The amount of memory needed in a switch varies depending on the type of switch and its intended use. For example, a basic unmanaged switch may only require a few megabytes of memory, while a managed switch used in a large network may need hundreds of megabytes or more.
The amount of memory required in a switch depends on its usage. Switches typically have a minimum of 32MB RAM installed, which is sufficient for basic operations. High–end switches may have up to 256MB RAM or more, depending on the number of features and ports.
