This months Guide - Networking Basics: What You Need To Know
What's a Router Versus a
Switch?
Routers and switches are
networking basics. But what
are the differences and why
are they important? (1:47
min)
When looking at networking basics,
understanding the way a network operates is
the first step to understanding routing and
switching. The network operates by
connecting computers and peripherals using
two pieces of equipment; switches and
routers. Switches and routers, essential
networking basics, enable the devices that
are connected to your network to communicate
with each other, as well as with other
networks.
Though they look quite similar, routers
and switches perform very different
functions in a network.
Networking Basics: Switches
Switches are used
to connect multiple devices on the same
network within a building or campus. For
example, a switch can connect your
computers, printers and servers,
creating a network of shared resources.
The switch, one aspect of your
networking basics, would serve as a
controller, allowing the various devices
to share information and talk to each
other. Through information sharing and
resource allocation, switches save you
money and increase productivity.
There are two basic types of switches to
choose from as part of your networking
basics: managed and unmanaged.
An unmanaged switch works out of
the box and does not allow you to
make changes. Home-networking
equipment typically offers unmanaged
switches.
A managed switch allows you
access to program it. This provides
greater flexibility to your
networking basics because the switch
can be monitored and adjusted
locally or remotely to give you
control over network traffic, and
who has access to your network.
Networking Basics: Routers
Routers, the second
valuable component of your networking
basics, are used to tie multiple
networks together. For example, you
would use a router to connect your
networked computers to the Internet and
thereby share an Internet connection
among many users. The router will act as
a dispatcher, choosing the best route
for your information to travel so that
you receive it quickly.
Routers analyze the data being sent over
a network, change how it is packaged,
and send it to another network, or over
a different type of network. They
connect your business to the outside
world, protect your information from
security threats, and can even decide
which computers get priority over
others.
Depending on your business and your
networking plans, you can choose from
routers that include different
capabilities. These can include
networking basics such as:
Firewall: Specialized software
that examines incoming data and
protects your business network
against attacks
Virtual Private Network (VPN): A
way to allow remote employees to
safely access your network remotely
IP Phone network : Combine your
company's computer and telephone
network, using voice and
conferencing technology, to simplify
and unify your communications
