Kulesi sihloko, sizoxoxa ngezinto eziyisisekeloamaswishi enethiwekhifuthi uhlole amagama ayisihluthulelo afana ne-Bandwidth, Mpps, Full Duplex, Management, Spanning Tree, kanye neLatency.Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungumuntu oqalayo wenethiwekhi noma othile ofuna ukwandisa ulwazi lwakho, lesi sihloko siklanyelwe ukukusiza ukuthi uthole ukuqonda okuphelele kwamaswishi enethiwekhi.

Ukushintsha kwenethiwekhi kuyingxenye ebalulekile yamanethiwekhi ekhompyutha esimanje, avumela amadivayisi ukuthi axhume futhi axhumane ngaphakathi kwenethiwekhi yendawo (LAN).Badlala indima ebalulekile ekuqondiseni ithrafikhi yenethiwekhi ngokuyikho nangokuvikelekile.Isici esibalulekile sokushintsha amandla abo okuphatha inani ledatha edlulisiwe, elinganiswa kumkhawulokudonsa.

Umkhawulokudonsa uyisici esibalulekile lapho ucabangela ukusebenza kokushintsha.Inquma isivinini lapho idatha idluliswa khona ngaphakathi kwenethiwekhi.Umkhawulokudonsa ophezulu usho umthamo omkhulu wokudlulisa idatha, okuholela esivinini senethiwekhi esisheshayo.Iswishi kufanele ibe nomkhawulokudonsa owanele wokusingatha inani ledatha okulindeleke ukuthi idluliselwe kunethiwekhi.

Enye imethrikhi ebalulekile okufanele icatshangelwe yi-Mpps, emele izigidi zamaphakethe ngomzuzwana.I-Mps ikala izinga lapho iswishi icubungula futhi iwathumele phambili amaphakethe.Ukuphakama kwevelu ye-Mps, amandla okudlulisela phambili asheshayo, okuvumela ukudluliswa kwedatha okungenazihibe ngaphakathi kwenethiwekhi.

Iswishi iphinde isekele ukuxhumana okuphelele kwe-duplex, okuvumela ukudluliswa kwedatha kanye nokwamukela ngesikhathi esisodwa.Kumodi ye-duplex egcwele, idatha ingageleza kuzo zombili izinkomba ngesikhathi esisodwa, iphinda kabili umthamo wenethiwekhi.Lokhu kuphambene nemodi ye-half-duplex, lapho amadivayisi ashintshana ngokuthumela nokwamukela idatha.

Ukuphathwa ngempumelelo kwamaswishi kubalulekile ekugcineni ukusebenza kwenethiwekhi.Iswishi ingaphathwa endaweni noma ukude ngohlelo lokuphatha.Ukuphatha kwendawo ngokuvamile kuhilela ukufinyelela nokulungisa iswishi ngokuqondile ngembobo yekhonsoli, kuyilapho ukuphatha okukude kuvumela ukulawula okumaphakathi nokuqapha amaswishi amaningi asuka endaweni eyodwa.

Isici esibalulekile sokushintshwa kwenethiwekhi yi-Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).I-STP ivimbela amaluphu kunethiwekhi, okungaholela ekusakazeni iziphepho nokuminyana kwenethiwekhi.Ivumela amaswishi ukuthi akhe ama-topology angenalo loop ngokukhetha iswishi eyodwa “njengebhuloho eliyizimpande” futhi ngokukhetha avimbe izimbobo ezithile ukuze kugwenywe izindlela ezingafuneki.
