When it comes to choosing a switch, there are a few key points that should not be overlooked:
First of all, the number and type of ports need to be determined according to network requirements, such as Ethernet ports, optical fiber ports, etc.
Second, switching capacity is related to the amount of data it can handle, which is usually measured in Gbps and has to be selected according to the size of the network and traffic requirements.
In addition, if the network needs to be expanded, then a stackable switch is a good choice, which can connect multiple switches together.
In addition, management functions such as VLAN, QoS, and security also need to be considered, and must be selected according to actual needs. In addition, for the stable operation of the network, the reliability and stability of the switch are crucial, and you can consider choosing a switch with redundant power supplies, fans, and hot-swappable modules.
Finally, it is a concern for every purchaser, and its level is closely related to performance and functionality, so it needs to be chosen according to the budget. Overall, the choice of switch requires a thorough consideration of these factors and an informed choice based on the actual situation.
