What is PoE?

PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a technology that allows a network switch to deliver power to connected devices over Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for separate power cables.

What is Layer 3 routing?

Layer 3 routing is the process of forwarding network traffic based on the information in the IP headers of packets. It allows for more advanced routing features such as inter-VLAN routing and routing between different IP networks.

What is VLAN support?

VLAN (Virtual LAN) support allows a network switch to create separate virtual networks within a physical network, which can improve network performance and security.

What is the difference between a Layer 2 switch and a Layer 3 switch?

Layer 2 switches forward network traffic based on the information in the Ethernet headers of packets, while Layer 3 switches forward traffic based on the information in the IP headers of packets. Layer 3 switches can perform advanced routing functions, while Layer 2 switches are simpler and have lower latency.

What is the difference between a managed and unmanaged switch?

A managed switch allows network administrators to configure and monitor the switch, while an unmanaged switch has no configuration options and simply forwards network traffic. Managed switches are typically more expensive but offer greater control and functionality.
