This refers to switching at layer 2 of the OSI reference model, for example, Ethernet. A switch looks at the MAC address of each Ethernet frame ("packet", you might say, but at this level the correct name is "frame"), and if it knows that this MAC address is connected at a certain port, the switch will send the information out ONLY through that port.

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.
What is the difference between a layer 2 and a layer 3 switch?
The difference between Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching is the type of information inside the frame that is used to determine the correct output interface. With Layer 2 switching, frames are switched based on MAC address information. With Layer 3 switching, frames are switched based on network-layer information.
At which layer does packet switching is done?
Packet switching is considered part of layer 3 of the OSI model.Packet switching is considered part of layer 3 of the OSI model.Packet switching is considered part of layer 3 of the OSI model.Packet switching is considered part of layer 3 of the OSI model.
How do Multilayer switches combine Layer 2 data switching with Layer 3 routing?
Application specific integrated circuitMPLS
Which protocol allows redundant Layer 2 links without switching loops?
RSTP
Which statement correctly describes a function of a layer 2 shitch?
IT uses the destination MAC address to selectively forward a frame
What is a campus LAN?
A campus LAN is a network in a single building or a group of closely related buildings. It mainly refers to layer 2 switching.
Is it possible for a network layer to provide connection oriented packet switching?
its depend on which protocol used in transport layer
What Switching breaks data into packets before they are transported?
Packet switching breaks the original data into smaller segments per packet before transmission. This is done in the layer 4 transport layer of the OSI model.
What are the two methods of switching?
1. circuit switching 2. packet switching
Types of network switching?
there are three types of switching techniques 1) circuit switcching 2) Packet switching 3)Message switching
What is difference between L3 switch and router?
A layer 3 switch has routing capability like a router. However, it also has layer 2 switching capabilities like a switch. To fulfill both functions, layer 3 switches will generally have a greater number of ports than most routers.
