Hi, Jim and team

I'm currently in the process of reviewing the "getting online" section and
noticed that at its very beginning (in the second paragraph) it is used a *
\gls* tag associated with the term router, meaning that if someone needs to
read an explanation of what a router is, when clicking the word is directly
pointed to it's definition in the glossary, but there's no \gls tag
associated with the term switch. Is there any specific explanation for this
or is this just something that was forgotten?

A definition of what a switch is should, IMHO, also be included in the
Glossary section and its respective tag included throughout the manual.
A possible definition could be something like:
*A switch is a computer networking device that that data from any device
connected to it and then transmits that data only to the device for which
it was meant.*
*
*
What do you think?

Regards,
David Pires
