Hubs are a physical layer (layer 1) device; most switches operate at the Data Link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model.

Do connectivity devices such as hubs and repeaters operate at the Presentation layer of the OSI Model?

No. Only protocols that users can see on their screen are considered Presentation Layer based. Hubs and repeaters operate on the physical layer, because it doesn't do anything with the data, it simply forwards it.


What is the advantage of using switches rather than hubs?

The major benefit of a switch over a hub is the increase in the amount of collision domains. This allows a switched network to benefit from full duplex transmissions, negating the need for CSMA/CD, and doubling the potential throughput for each network segment. Switches typically operate at layer 2 of the OSI model, using destination MAC addresses within the Ethernet frame to intelligently filter or forward packets.

Which of the following is considered a Layer 2 device?

Switches are generally considered layer 2 devices, but many are capable of operating at layers 3, 4 or higher. Most hubs are amplifying the electrical signal; therefore, they are really repeaters with several ports. Hubs and repeaters are Layer 1 (physical layer) devices.
