- Switch also called called as Bridging hub, Switching hub.
- It can send the data only one computer or multiple devices that we need to receive it rather than sending to all ports like hub.
Where we will use this Switch ?
- In the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) communications model, a switch performs the Layer-2 or Data-Link Layer function.
How Switch Works :
- Switch works at data link layer in network.
- Switch will see the each packet or data and take the MAC / Physical address of reciver from sended device.'
- After that sended that data to that rcived MAC address.
