Devices that operate across the OSI model's seven layers include routers, switches, and firewalls. Routers function primarily at Layer 3 (Network) by directing data packets between networks, while switches operate mainly at Layer 2 (Data Link) to facilitate communication within a local area network. Firewalls can work at multiple layers, inspecting traffic and enforcing security policies across Layer 3 and Layer 4 (Transport), and sometimes even higher layers. Additionally, gateways can operate at all layers, translating between different network protocols.

Yes, they are devices that operate at different layers of the OSI model for networking.
OSI model has seven layers and each layer is assigned a specific task for data transmission process.
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.

The NIC operates on Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI Model.
The OSI model acts as a standard in design of computer networks. It consists of total seven layers.
In the early 1980s, the International Standards Organization (ISO) developed the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) model, which was defined in ISO standard 7498-1, to standardize the way devices communicate on a network.
