A switch is a device used to connect two or more computers, networks, or other devices together. A switch enables the users to transfer data between the computers or networks by creating a direct connection between them. It works by examining the destination address of each packet that enters its network and forwarding the packet to the correct destination.
A switch is a device used to connect two or more computer networks or other electronic devices together. Switches can also be used to control, configure and manage network traffic. Switches allow networked computers to communicate by exchanging data packets, which are organized into frames. Switches forward data packets based on the MAC address of the destination device, rather than its IP address. Switches can also provide connectivity for multiple computers to form a Local Area Network (LAN).
