What are the functions of a network switch?
A switch in a network is a piece of hardware that has the task of communicating between different devices in the network. Another task of a switch is to receive and send data packets between network devices. The switch performs this task by assigning a MAC address to each device.
What is a network switch?
The main switch manufacturer is Cisco, which produces all 2960, 3750, 3560, 3850, and 9200 series switches (the Cisco WS-c2960X-48FPD-L switch is also from the 2960 series). Cisco switches have the highest level of security. There is no possibility of losing data packets in the switches of this brand. Also, all Cisco switches have firewall and IOS. Switches have different types based on the capabilities they can perform. These features include stack port, PoE and SFP, as well as being modular and having two power sources, etc. The Cisco WS-C2960X-48FPD-L switch has three capabilities: PoE, Stack, and SFP, which we briefly describe below.
A brief description of PoE, stack and SFP port capabilities
- PoE: In addition to data transmission, POE enabled switches also transmit electricity through the cables of these devices. As a result, you will no longer need a separate connection to the power supply for your camera or iP phone.
- SFP: The SFP port is a multipurpose port. This means that by using the SFP port, it can be connected to other switches or core switches through optical fiber cables and modules. In fact, you can connect a wide range of cables and modules to your switch through this port.
- Stack: By using the stack feature and through the stack port, we can connect a number of switches to each other with a cable and use them as a single switch.
As a result, we can transfer the operations performed on one of them to the rest of the switches. In this case, it is even possible to transfer power. It is also possible to transfer information and upgrade these switches through a USB cable.
