Explanation is good😊.but doesn't explain about how much exact download and upload speed take per port as data transfer speed.its okays it might be plan speed÷8

What are internal components of network switch IE 1000

[@nidhal70]

what software was used to make this illustration ?

[@benbaffoe5461]

why do switches have only 8 16 24 48 and so on number of ports..?

[@scanitsolutions]

Switches are normally wired up internally in pairs, so the vast majority have an even number of ports. They are a few exceptions to this, such as 5-port switches, with a 5th port added on which is intended to be connected to another switch. - JG

I didn't know PoE power capability went as high as 100W per port - every day is a school day..

[@scanitsolutions]

Glad to hear it was useful. - JG
