    So I have been using unmanaged switches since 2005 on my SOHO network. I've always idly wondered the kinds of options that "managed" switches offer. Your video helped me to understand the difference. As curious as I am, I think I'll continue to use unmanaged switches. LOL, sometimes it's better to have fewer choices.

    Very good, I am looking to know more about networking. right now its just so that my PC and my girlfriends Pc can send game installs from steam quicker because we are limited by our 50mbs plugs when both ports support gigabite and are both in the same room. this seems like the best option for me.
    Thank you.
    Also those who aren't aware you can transfer games form one PC to another on the same network, you do need to set it up in steam settings!

    I have a question: I just want to plug one computer with another through my unmanaged switch, however, they can't see each other. Is that because I didn't plug the switch with the router? Do the switch and the router need to be plugged together in order to one computer see the other? Plugging both computers into the switch isn't enough for them to see each other?

    • @RogerPerkin
      @RogerPerkin  3 года назад +4

      It depends what the computers are configured as? If the network cards are set to DHCP and need to get an address from somewhere you also need your router in there as well, if you just want them to see each other and that's it then assign PC1 and IP address of 10.0.0.1/24 and PC2 10.0.0.2/24 - just depends what you want to do and what you mean by see each other?

    Why do you need this instead of a router?

    • @RogerPerkin
      @RogerPerkin  3 года назад +1

      Good question, a switch can also be a router - this is called a Layer 3 switch, it allows you to route traffic between different networks. A router typically has only a few ports where a switch can have a lot more normally 48 or you can stack switches to have up to 400+ ports. So you use a switch when you need more ports and a router when you need to route between networks, like your home broadband router, but the switch if it supports it could also be a router

    What happens if PC D is swapped for PC C? How does the switch come to know that it should be sending the information to a different port? I am just learning all of this stuff now, and I assume that the switch is dependent on information being sent TCP - are all the computers informing the switch that the information is irrelevant or are they just discarding it?

      @RogerPerkin  2 года назад +1

      If you connect a cable from your router into a switch and all the ports are in the same vlan and all the devices on your network are on the same subnet as your internet router that will provide internet to all devices, they will typically get a DHCP address from the router

      All devices have a different ip address. Most of the devices will have a static ip set anyway so even if the port changes, the ip stays the same. If let's say the ip changes, you'll need to reconfigure whatever you were doing/sending so that it stars working again.

    • @AliasgharAlizada-or3cm

      Switch has a Mac address table that save all devices's mac address when they connect to switch so it can transfer data correctly.
