What network device uses a MAC address table to segment network?
Although some would suggest that a switch could segment a network (and it does use the MAC address for switching) more properly a bridge would be the answer if you are speaking of segmenting a network.
Packet switch and message switch?
packet switching can be considered an improvement over message switching.Similar to message switching,packet switching forwards data on first come first serve basis between nodes and no dedication connection is made (as it is done in circuit switching). But unlike message switching,packet switching puts an upper limit on the maximum size of the packet.If the packet size is greater than the maximum,it is segmented and then transmitted.Each segment has separate header which increases the overhead. But it reduces the average delays.Also in case of packet switching data is not stored for later transmission to a currently busy or inactive terminal.It just takes care of data transmission between nodes
What type of switch memory is used to store the configuration used by the switch when the switch first comes up?
ram
In computing what is the purpose of a context switch?
Context switching allows for a computer to multitask. It can suspend one process in order to switch over and run another process. The first process can be brought back up by suspending the second one.
What are the two methods of switching?
1. circuit switching 2. packet switching
What feature of a switch keeps switching table entries from becoming stale?
timestamp
Describe how a switch learns addresses?
A switch examines the frame for the MAC address information and adds it to its internal switching table as each frame passes through the switch.
What forwarding method should be used if you want your switch to act upon the data as soon as it is received?
store -and forward switching

What is on load and off load switching?
On load switching is when a switch can be operated whilst current is still passing through the switch (i.e. it is on load) Offload switching is when a switch is operated whilst there is no current through the switch (i.e. it is offload)
Cut-through switches can detect corrupt packets?
Cut-through switches cannot detect corrupt packets as they do not perform error checking before forwarding the packets. They simply read the packet header and quickly forward the packet to the destination without performing any packet integrity checks. This means that corrupted packets may potentially be forwarded without detection.
What is difference between packet switching frame switching and cell switching?
Packet Switching refers to the transfering of the packet from 1 node to the other. Where as Cell Switching ,means the switching of a cell from 1 network to the other. Pls note that Packet and Cells are 2 different forms. Packet itself has header and pay load and but Packets are variable in size unlike cells which are fix. When packets are switched, the Packet Switch is used and that Switch looks for the next hop in its routing or forwarding table but when a cell is switched, ATM switches are used and the cells actually carry the data and the header and travels from 1 ATM switch to the other. The ATM switches donot use the complex method as Packet Switches use.
How does a switching on and off can be done in a sequence of loght for example in a miniature lighting circuit we put in a marriage function?
switching on the tourch for example is when as you switch it on it will move the switch connecting it to a circuit that lights up the bulb and when you switch the switch off the switch will move breaking the circuit
What is port switching and segment switching?
PORT SWITCHING:- A Machine is directly Connected to the Switch's port..,so that you can run parallel full speed between machines....its an expensive solution since the unit price of switch per port is high!SEGMENT SWITCHING:- A Whole segment is connected to the port of the switch..here you can either connect the workstation directly on the switches port or use segments to connect...Its is more effective switching compared to Port Switching!
Soft switching in power electronics?
It is to open the power-switch at zero current to minimize the looses during switching.
What network device uses a MAC address table to segment network?
Although some would suggest that a switch could segment a network (and it does use the MAC address for switching) more properly a bridge would be the answer if you are speaking of segmenting a network.
When switching on a light switch what energy is made?
Light and Heat
