| A **Switch** generally has a more intelligent role than a [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:h:hub]]. A switch is a multiport device that improves network efficiency. The switch maintains limited routing information about nodes in the internal network, and it allows connections to systems like hubs or routers. Strands of LANs are usually connected using switches. Generally, switches can read the hardware addresses of incoming packets to transmit them to the appropriate destination. | A **Switch** generally has a more intelligent role than a [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:h:hub]].
