What is one feature that distinguishes routers from Layer 2 switches?
Routers support a variety of interface types. Switches typically support Ethernet interfaces.
Routers operate at which osi layer?
3
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.
Switches that operate anywhere between Layer 4 and Layer 7 are also known as switches?
Content switches
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.
What is the difference between switch and router?
Routers operate at layer 3 of the OSI model while switches operate at layer 2. The data transmission form of a router is called a packet while in a switch, it is called a frame. Routers are mainly used in wide area networks while switches are used in local area networks.
Can switches be used by administrators to segment their LAN?
Not really - they operate at the Data Link layer using the MAC address and therefore don't really segment a network. There are some managed switches that can do this or by using VLAN configurations, but ordinary switches will not really segment a LAN.
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.
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 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.
Devices found in each OSI model?
1. Repeaters (Operate at the OSI Physical Layer).2. Bridges (Operate at the OSI Data Link Layer).3. Routers {and Brouters} (Operate at the OSI Network Layer).
What networking equipment is usually found in the core of a campus Network?
High-end layer 3 switches or routers
