Switches are on the second layer of the OSI model (Data Link); they do filtering based on host MAC addresses. You may also see a third layer switch; they not only provide all switching capabilities but some layer three routing capabilities too.

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 layer of the OSI model is a Switch on?
It operates on the data link layer of the OSI model (level 2). The switch creates a separate collision domain for each port. Although some switches operate on level 3 of the model and are called multi-layer switches.
Which layer of the OSI model are layers capabale of functioning?
The OSI Model stands for Open Systems Interconnection. The answer to the question which layer of the OSI model are layers capable of functioning is at all layers.
Bits are packaged into frames at which layer of the OSI model?
Data link layer
Connectivity devices such as hubs and repeaters operate at which layer?
Hubs and repeaters operate at the Physical Layer of the OSI Model. The Physical Layer is the first layer of the OSI Model.
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.

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.
What network component operates at layer 3 of the OSI RMrm and forwards network protocols such as ip toward their destination?
Routers and layer 3 switches work at Layer 3 of OSI model.
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.
Which osi layer is application?
OSI stands for Open system interconnection model. Application layer is the seventh layer in OSI model.
What is the physical layer of the OSI model designed to do?
hub work at physical layer of osi model
IPX is used in layer of Novell Netware?
In the OSI reference model, that would be layer 3 (network).In the OSI reference model, that would be layer 3 (network).In the OSI reference model, that would be layer 3 (network).In the OSI reference model, that would be layer 3 (network).
Logical addressing and routing function at which layer of the OSI model?
Networking layer of the OSI model
You want to use the OSI reference model to troubleshoot a repeater Which OSI layer will you focus on?
Repeaters operate at the physical layer of the OSI model.
In which layer cabling take place?
If you mean the OSI reference model, that's layer 1 (physical).If you mean the OSI reference model, that's layer 1 (physical).If you mean the OSI reference model, that's layer 1 (physical).If you mean the OSI reference model, that's layer 1 (physical).
