Ws-c3560-24ps-e is layer 2 switch or layer3 switch?
It is a layer 3 switch
Will a Cisco 4000 switch automatically switch from layer 3 to layer 2?
I believe there is no such thing as switching "from layer 3 to layer 2". Switching is either done within layer 3, or within layer 2.
Why is a switch called as layer 2 device?
because one layer is the electrical part, and the other layer is the place where the switch is on.
What does a layer 2 switch use to decide where to forward a received frame?
A layer 2 switch uses the MAC address to determine which port to switch the frame out of.
What type of device is switch?
A Switch is a Layer 2 device as they operate in the data link layer
What is a switch known as that operates on layer 7?
There are no switches that operate on layer 7 (Application layer) on the OSI Model. Switches are a layer-2 device because they manage and switch frames.
Which layer of the OSI model does an access layer LAN switch use to make a forwarding decision?
Layer 2.
Is the cisco 3550 a router or a switch?
Depending on the IOS on the switch it will have either layer 3 functionality (EMI) or just layer 2 functionality (SMI).
Can a layer 2 switch be used on the core of the campus network?
a high grade layer 2 switch can be used to access local resources but will not be suffice to access the internet you would need a layer3 switch to access remote resources
What layer of the OSI model does a switch operate at?
Switches are commonly known as "Layer 2 (Data Link Layer)".3550 Switches: These switches are working under Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) and it is forward the packets through MAC Address, but if we convert these type of switches into Routers it will function in Layer 3 (Network Layer) of OSI model as it's forward the packets based on the IP addresses.2950 Switches: These switches are working under Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of OSI model only and it is forward the packets through MAC Address.
How are layer 2 switches similar to layer 3 switches?
A layer 2 switch at it's core only forwards data within a LAN and only deals with MAC addresses. A layer 3 switch has the capability of forwarding frames and packets because it understands IP addresses.
Switch work in which layer of osi modle?
layer 3 layer 3 Switch/ Bridges / Hubs works at layer 2 as they utilizes MAC address to communicate. However i aggree above stated answer as there are some layer three switches that work at Layer3 i.e. Network Layer. Dhruv
