There are no layer 1 switches; switches run at layer 2 or 3. A hub is a layer 1 device.

Switches operate at layer and Hubs operate at layer of OSI model?
Hubs are a physical layer (layer 1) device; most switches operate at the Data Link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model.
Routers operate at layer LAN switches operate at layer Ethernet hubs operate at layer?
Routers operate at layer 3. LAN switches operate at layer 2. Ethernet hubs operate at layer 1.
Switches that operate anywhere between Layer 4 and Layer 7 are also known as switches?
Content switches
What devices extend the size of a broadcast domain?
Layer 1 (hubs) or Layer 2 (bridges or switches) devices.
Switch work in which layer of osi model?
Switches / Bridges and hubs work at data link layer, but there are layer three switches which operate at network layer. Dhruv
2960 is a layer three switch?
I'm not sure but i think all switches 2xxx (2960) are layer 2 switches
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.
Will layer 3 switches route packets between devices on different subnets?
Yes. Most switches (which operate at layer 2) will NOT route packets between different subnets. However special layer 3 switches DO have this capability.
How does network packets work?
On a packet switched network, data travels between layers 1, 2 and 3 of the OSI model using routers (layer 3), switches (layer 2), and media (layer 1).
Switches ans NIC's works at layer?
nic work on data link layer which is layer 2
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.
Are layer two switches fast or are they smart?
They are Smart
