A switch is a main piece of hardware in the field of setting up and maintaining computer networks. In fact, a switch connects devices within a computer network and allows them to exchange data through cables. Using the switch, the devices send and receive information to a dipper. Network switches are designed and produced by different brands, such as Cisco, D-Link, and Tipi-Link, and the best and highest quality switches belong to the Cisco brand. The reason for this is that Cisco brand switches have the highest lifespan, quality of construction, and security.
