PORT SWITCHING:- A Machine is directly Connected to the Switch's port..,so that you can run parallel full speed between machines....its an expensive solution since the unit price of switch per port is high!
SEGMENT SWITCHING:- A Whole segment is connected to the port of the switch..here you can either connect the workstation directly on the switches port or use segments to connect...Its is more effective switching compared to Port Switching!
What else can I help you with?
Which stp port type can only appear once on a segment and must be present in order for traffic to flow on that segment?
designated port
Which three fields are used in a UDP segment header?
• checksum • destination port • source port
What are four major components of a packet switch and their function?
input port, output port, routing processor, switching fabric
What is meant by soft-switching operation in three-port bi-directional converter?
to prevent the switches from voltage spikes for that we using soft switching
What rapid spanning tree protocol role is assigned to the forwarding port elected for every switched ethernet LAN segment?
In the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), the forwarding port assigned for every switched Ethernet LAN segment is designated as the "Root Port" if it is the best path to the root bridge. For non-root bridges, the port that connects to the root bridge is elected as the Root Port, while other ports may be put into a Blocking state to prevent loops. The designated port, on the other hand, is the port on a network segment that has the lowest path cost to the root bridge and is responsible for forwarding traffic towards that segment.
What does a switch store in its switching table?
The destination mac addressof a frame and the port it was received on.
What port role specifies a forwarding port elected for every switch LAN segment when using the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol?
Designated
What is the function of asymmetric switching?
An asymmetric switch provides switched connections between ports of different bandwidths. Asymmetric switching is optimized for client-server traffic where multiple clients simultaneously communicate with a server, requiring more bandwidth dedicated to the server port to prevent a bottleneck at that port. so it is use to prevent bottlenecks on the port a server is connected.
How many broadcast domains are created when you segment a network with A 12 port switch?
100000
What is fragment free switching?
Fragment free is a variation on cut-through switching that partially addresses this problem by assuring that collision fragments are not forwarded. This will hold the frame until the first 64 bytes are read from the source to detect a collision before forwarding.This is only useful if there is a chance of a collision on the source port. Fragment-free switching is also known as runtless switching and is a hybrid of cut-through and store-and-forward switching. Fragment-free switching was developed to solve the late-collision problem.

Why are port numbers included in the TCP header of a segment?
to enable a receiving host to forward the data to the appropriate application
