What is Switch?

A network switch is a networking device that filters and forwards data packets between devices on a computer network. Unlike a hub, which broadcasts data to all connected devices, a switch learns the MAC addresses of connected devices and forwards data only to the intended recipient. This improves network efficiency and security. Switches are commonly used to connect computers, servers, printers, and other devices within a local area network (LAN).
