Switches serve a different purpose than routers and therefore utilize different commands. Here are some key concepts to understand:
-
Switchport mode — The switchport mode determines how the port handles VLAN traffic. The three main modes are access mode, trunk mode and dynamic mode.
-
Duplex speed — Duplex settings determine whether the port can send and receive data simultaneously. You can assign half, full or auto. Auto allows the switch to negotiate the duplex setting with the connected device.
-
Speed — This setting determines the port’s data transmission rate. Depending on the switch’s capabilities, the speed can be set to 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) or auto.
