Ethernet switches are fundamental networking devices that connect multiple devices on a local area network (LAN) and forwards data packets between them. Unlike hubs, they use MAC addresses for efficient, targeted packet delivery, reducing network congestion and improving performance. Modern switches support features like Power over Ethernet (PoE), VLANs, and Layer 3 routing. Explore user reviews and comparisons to find the best Ethernet switch for your network infrastructure.

IBM is a global technology and innovation company headquartered in Armonk, NY.  It is one of the largest technology and consulting employers in the world, with approximately 427,000 employees serving clients in 170 countries. IBM offers a wide range of technology and consulting services; a broad portfolio of middleware for collaboration, predictive analytics, software development and systems management; and advanced servers and supercomputers. Utilizing its business consulting, technology and R&amp;D expertise, IBM says it helps clients become "smarter" as the planet becomes more digitally interconnected. This includes working with organizations and governments to build systems that improve traffic congestion, availability of clean water, and the health and safety of populations. IBM invests more than $6 billion a year in R&amp;D, just completing its 18th year of patent leadership. IBM Research has received recognition beyond any commercial technology research organization and is home to 5 Nobel Laureates, 9 US National Medals of Technology, 5 US National Medals of Science, 6 Turing Awards, and 10 Inductees in US Inventors Hall of Fame. The company was behind the inventions of the PC; SABRE travel reservation system; UPC codes, Watson, the Jeopardy!-playing computing system, and much more.

Features common across Ethernet switches.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Allows users to power devices directly from the Ethernet switch.

Management Interface

The Interface allows for configuration and monitoring of the devices on your network.

Hardware Security

Allows users to implement security capabilities such as access control lists, virtual LANs for segmenting traffic or DDoS protection.

Quality of Service (QoS)

Enables the prioritization of traffic to ensure network performance.

Switch Scalability

Ability to add new switches to the network (possibly through stacking) to enable more bandwidth.

Switch Redundancy

The switch follows a redundancy protocol, such as the parallel redundancy protocol (PRP) or high-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) to ensure network performance in the event of a device or power failure.

Link Aggregation (LACP)

Allows users to combine Ethernet links, resulting in more bandwidth, better load balancing, and redundancy.
