Difference between Computer port (hardware) and Network switch

Computer port (hardware) vs. Network switch

In computer hardware, a port serves as an interface between the computer and other computers or peripheral devices. A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, officially MAC bridge) is a computer networking device that connects devices together on a computer network by using packet switching to receive, process, and forward data to the destination device.

Similarities between Computer port (hardware) and Network switch

Computer port (hardware) and Network switch have 2 things in common (in Unionpedia): Link aggregation, Plug and play.

Link aggregation

In computer networking, the term link aggregation applies to various methods of combining (aggregating) multiple network connections in parallel in order to increase throughput beyond what a single connection could sustain, and to provide redundancy in case one of the links should fail.

Plug and play

In computing, a plug and play (PnP) device or computer bus, is one with a specification that facilitates the discovery of a hardware component in a system without the need for physical device configuration or user intervention in resolving resource conflicts.
