Difference between router and switch
In those early days when router is router and switch is switch, these two are different in several ways:
• Router understand IP head, and switch deal with MAC address
• Router has its own IP address(es), and switch don’t
• Router has an operating system running inside, and allow administrator to login into the system.
• You (network administrator) must configure routing table to make it works.
• Switch is usually ready to use.
• Router has routing software running inside, including route discovery protocol.
• Routing software know how to deal with different IP packet, such as ICMP and other IP option functionality. Switches don’t.
• Multiple routers can be connected together as a network.
• You can’t directly multiple switches together to form a large network.
