Switch is a kind of network equipment used for electric (optical) signal transmission. It can provide the exclusive electric signal pathway for point to point network nodes of the access switch. Most of them are the Ethernet switch. The others are telephone voice switches, optical switches, etc..
Application:
The main function of switches including physical addressing, network topology structure, error checking, frames sequence and flow control.The switch also has some new features, such as support for VLAN (virtual local area network),support for link aggregation, even some of them have the functions of the firewall.
Such as other products, the switches also have many brands.
Eg: Cisco, Huawei, ZTC, H3C, Juniper, HP, Extreme etc. Below is a brief introduction to several major brands of switches.
