Generally, a router is used to connect multiple networks together. By using the router, you can access a high-speed internet over a wired or wireless connection. But, when you use a switch, it will help you to connect all your devices to a single network. Usually, an Ethernet cable is used to connect the devices to a Switch. The main function performed by Switch is filtering and forwarding of network packets from one network device to another. The section below will help you to use a Cisco router to switch configuration.
