What is the difference between an active and a passive switch?
1,545 pts.  Answer Wiki  passive switch is basically a stand by
switch, if i m not wrong……..  active passive or managed
unmanaged?  when you say active/passive only active is the one
working while passive is just a back-up.  when you say managed,
further configuration is needed for the switch to work properly,
an unmanaged switch is just a plug and play switch, no
configurations needed.  Discuss This Question: 4  Replies

not sure what you mean by Active and Passive. If you mean
Managed and Unmanaged, a Managed switch is a switch which you
can configure. This allows you to control what network or vLAN
each port is on, as it allows you to monitor each port for
bandwidth usage, etc. An unmanaged switch simply routes data
between the ports.     65,160 pointsBadges:   • Hetmil     715
