What else can I help you with?
Which devices make layer 3 decisions?
Routers
Which network layer protocol enables routers to discover the best path between networks using hop count?
IP
Router work on which layer?
Routers works in the network layer of the OSI model and choose the best ,shortest and optimized path to route the packets received from data link layer and requested by transport layer. BY Naghma
What is a function of the distribution layer in the hierarchical design model?
provide connectivity between smaller local networks
If data link layer detect error why do you think we need transport layer?
because in the data link layer two routers communitate directly via a physical channel , whereas at the transport layer this physical channel is replaced by the entire subnet. In the data link layer ,it is not necessary for a router to specify which router it wants to talk to each outgoing line uniquely specifies a panicular router . In the transport layer explicit addressing of destinations is required.
What is one feature that distinguishes routers from Layer 2 switches?
Routers support a variety of interface types. Switches typically support Ethernet interfaces.
Routers are considered components of which layer?
Routers would be in layer 3 of the OSI model also known as the Network layer.
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.
What layer protocol does RIP use?
RIP is a IGP protocol that allows routers to advertise what they know about their routes to other routers. Since routers operate at the network layer (3), so does RIP.
Routers operate at which osi layer?
3
What is the data element for the Transport layer?
routers
Which devices make layer 3 decisions?
Routers
In which layer of the TCPIP Model do routers belong?
In the TCP IP model, routers belong in layer 3. This is a common model used in setting up information technology systems.
What is the function of routing in the network OSI layer3?
The whole point of the network layer, and layer 3 devices, is to move packets between separate networks. Layer 2 devices on the other hand (switches), only move frames using only the data link layer between hosts in that same network. Without layer 3 devices (routers or gateways), there could be no communication between separate interconnected groups of computers.
What are the consequences of using MAC addresses for routing in network layer routers?
Routers don't use MAC addresses for routing. They use IP address.
Which is an important factor when choosing a Layer 2 protocol?
-The geographic scope of the network -The physical layer implementation -The number of hosts to be interconnected
Why router comes on network layer?
Routers operate at the network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model because their primary function is to determine the best path for data packets to travel from the source to the destination across multiple networks. This layer handles logical addressing (such as IP addresses), allowing routers to make forwarding decisions based on the destination address. By operating at this layer, routers can facilitate inter-network communication and manage traffic effectively, ensuring data is routed efficiently between different networks.
