In this article, you will learn the basics of the managed switch and unmanaged switch in networking.
The network Switch is one of the most important parts of any network. All the communications going on a network are only possible because of a network switch.
The network switch receives data from one port and sends the data to the other port or the correct location. Because of this functionality, the network switch is also called the brain of any network. Because the network switch manages the data communication between all the devices on the network.
Any Network Switch can be classified on the basis of the number of ports. The most common type of network switch is 24-port and 48-port network switches in industrial applications. But one of the main parameters which differentiate network switches is whether the switch is managed network switch or an unmanaged network switch.
One of the most basic differences between a managed network switch and an unmanaged network switch is that the unmanaged network switch allows the device to connect to the network by simply plugging into the network switch port.
While in the case of a managed switch, greater control over the ports of the network switch is provided.
Let us see the differences between the managed network switch and unmanaged network switch in detail:
