Router Vs Switch

Router

1. A router is used to connect computers belonging to one network with those belonging to another networks.
2. As per the OSI model, a router is a network layer device , i.e. it operates at Layer
3. Router are much more sophisticated and intelligent network device, as compared to switches.
4. A router works on the principle of IP addresses.
5. A router's inbuilt hardware makes use of routing algorithms to compute the best possible path for routing data packet across different computer networks.
6. Router have their own inbuilt operating system and they need to be configured before use.

Switch

1 A switch on the other hand, connects different computers within one network.

2 unless it is a multi-lyer switch, a network switch operates at layer 2 ( Data Link Layer).

3 In comparison with router, Switches are less sophisticated and less intelligent.

4 A switch works on the basis of MAC addresses.

5 A switch does not perform any such activities.

6 Most switches do not requires any prior configuretion and are usually ready to use
