Network Switches
ExpiredWhat is a network switch?
A network switch is a device that allows computers and other devices to talk to each other.
What does a network switch do?
Network switches receive and forward data to the destination device or devices. Some advanced switches such as L2+ or L3 (Layer 3) can also switch packets between two different computer networks.
What is the difference between a network switch vs a router?
Network switches allow multiple devices to communicate with each other whereas a router allows for connections between networks.
To choose the best network switch, check how many ports are needed, types of interfaces (Etherent vs SFP), and pick at least a Gigabit model for great performance.
DrayTek network switches also come with Power over Ethernet ('P' models) ideal for IP phones, IP cameras, and wireless access points. All models include web interface for configuration, monitoring and management. Remote management is also supported through VigorACS platform.
