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


Which layer is absent in broadcast network?

network layer


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


What three network devices operate at the Data-link layer of the OSI?

The network layer or layer 3 is where you would expect to find routers or possibly layer 3 switches. The network layer is the point where different networks can converge. Routing tables held on layer 3 devices are the path out of the network. If you look at your ipconfig information with the /all switch you will see an address given for default gateway. This will point to the router that is aware of all other networks or sub networks you have access to. In the home this is usually the inside or private address of your DSL or cable modem. I understand some bridges operate at layer 3 as well. At layer 3 Ethernet frames are formed into packets in preparation for routing between networks or sub networks. Because the OSI layer is as implied open there are many examples of software and hardware that can operate at the network layer but router would be the best answer most of the time.


Explain the principal responsibility of the network layer and data link layer in a Wide Area Network in detail?

the network layer is the same as the data link layer, they do the same thing. that is that they communicat with the network to send packets of data...

Can a layer 2 switch be used in the core of a campus network?

Yes it can and the reason is because of redundancy provides for a backup route or network connection in case of a link failure. The core hardware is typically interconnected to all distribution network hardware and the objective is to ensure that the data traffic continues for the whole network even if a core networking device or link fails.

Diifference between distribution layer switch core layer switch?

Core layer switch forms the heart of the network. it interconnects all the subnetworks formed by distribution switches. It also has special modules such as IDPS. It has very high switching capacity when compared with normal (Access ) Switches. Distribution switch forms the intermediate layer between access and core switch.
