  • What is the difference between a POE switch and a normal switch?

    What is the difference between a POE switch and a normal switch?

    1. Different reliability: POE switches are switches that support power supply to network cables. Compared with ordinary switches, power-receiving terminals (such as APs, digital cameras, etc.) do not need to perform power wiring, and are more reliable for the entire network. 2. Different function...

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

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

    The essential difference between a layer-2 switch and a layer-3 switch is that the working protocol layer is different. A layer-2 switch works at the data link layer, and a layer-3 switch works at the network layer. It can be simply understood as a layer 2 switch. You can think that it only has t...
