The switch can be simply understood as connecting some computers together to form a local area network, and many friends are unclear about switches and routers. In fact, the difference between routers and switches is obvious. What are the differences between switches and routers ? Can the router be used as a switch? The following decoration home decoration network Xiaobian will give you detailed answers for your reference.
The difference between a switch and a router:
The difference between the switch and the router 1: The switch is a network cable to access the Internet, but everyone is dialing separately, each using their own broadband, and everyone has no influence on the Internet. The router has one more virtual dialing function than the switch. The computer that accesses the Internet through the same router shares a broadband account, and everyone has to interact with each other.
The difference between switch and router 2: The switch works at the relay layer, and the switch is addressed according to the MAC address. The router works at the network layer. According to the IP address addressing, the router can handle the TCP/IP protocol, but the switch cannot.
The difference between switch and router 3: The switch can make multiple computers connected to it form a local area network. If there is a proxy server, it can also realize the simultaneous Internet access function and all the computers on the local area network share its bandwidth rate, but the switch does not have automatic identification of the router. The function of sending and arriving addresses of packets. The router can automatically identify the address where the packet is sent and arrived. The router is equivalent to the police on the road and is responsible for traffic guidance and guidance.
The difference between switch and router 4: For example, the router is a small post office, just an address (IP), responsible for sending and receiving a place (personal computer, a server, so your home Internet needs this thing), the switch is in the province The big postal center is responsible for the contact of each small place by an address. Simply put, the router is dedicated to the network, the switch only manages the distribution, routing and routing is to find the way for you to access the Internet, the switch is only responsible for opening the door, there is no route on the switch, you can not get on the network.
The difference between switch and router 5: The router provides the service of the firewall. The router only forwards packets of a specific address, does not transmit packet transmissions that do not support routing protocols, and transmits unknown unknown network packets, thereby preventing broadcast storms.
Can the router be used as a switch?
Routers can be used as switches because routers have both routing and switching capabilities. Generally speaking, in actual work, when the primary router is connected to the router, the second router (sub-router) needs to be converted into a switch to be used. The specific setting method is as follows:
1. One end of the network cable is connected to the LAN port of the router, and the other end is connected to the network port of the computer.
2. Open the browser, enter 192.168.1.1 (on the router box or on the manual), enter the router account and password.
3. Select [DHCP Service] under [DHCP Server] in the left column, click [Do not enable], and click [Save].
4. Select [Network Parameters] - [LAN Port Settings] - enter 192.168.1.2 in the [IP Address] item and click [Save]. Note: The IP address of the LAN port is 192.168.1.2~192.168.1.254, as long as it is different from the IP of the main router and is in the same network segment as the IP of the main router.
5. After the setup is complete, one end of the network cable is connected to the LAN port of the main router, and the other end is connected to the LAN port of the router (sub-router). Note: The WAN port of the secondary router is idle.
