| A switch
works more like a modern phone system allowing multiple computer
systems to talk to each other on a private connection |
 |
| Switches
allow the network administrator to group a set workstations
connected to a switch into one virtual LAN and another group
of workstations into a different virtual LAN |
 |
| A switch acts as an intelligent hub, allowing each port to
run at full speed regardless of other network traffic passing
through the system. |
