Certificate in Network SWITCH
About Network SWITCH
The Certificate in Network SWITCH exam evaluates candidates' proficiency in planning, configuring, and verifying the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions. This exam assesses participants' understanding of network switching concepts, technologies, protocols, and best practices.
Why is Network SWITCH important?
Data packets are sent between devices via a network switch. Instead of transmitting packets to networks as a router does, switches transfer them directly to devices. Switches prevent traffic between two devices on the same network from obstructing the use of other devices. Switches let you manage who has access to different network areas. Switches let you keep an eye on utilization. Switches provide quicker internal network connection than the Internet.
