Ethernet Switch

What is an Ethernet switch?

An Ethernet switch is a network device used to connect multiple Ethernet devices. It can learn and establish a forwarding path based on the MAC address, forward data frames from the source port to the destination port, and achieve fast and reliable transmission of data between different devices.

Ethernet switch functions:

  • Connect multiple Ethernet devices: such as computers, servers, printers, etc.
  • Exchange data frames: Forward data frames to the target device based on the MAC address.
  • Increase network rate: Reduce data conflicts and increase network transmission rate.
  • Isolate broadcast domain: limit the scope of the broadcast domain and improve network security.

Types of Ethernet switches:

  • Classified by working mode: workgroup switches, core switches, access switches, etc.
  • Classified by number of ports: 8 ports, 16 ports, 24 ports, 48 ports, etc.
  • Classified by transmission rate: Gigabit switches, 10G switches, 100M switches, etc.

Applications of Ethernet switches:

  • Home: Used for the establishment of home LAN.
  • Office: used for the establishment of office LAN.
  • Data Center: Network connection for data center.
  • Campus network: used for the construction of campus network.
