Switch

  • Switch is a computer networking device that connects the devices together on a network by using packet switching to receive,process and forward data to the destination device.
  • 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.
