What is the name of the layer in the Cisco borderless switched network design that would have more switches deployed than other layers in the network design of a large organization?

In a Cisco borderless switched network design, the layer with more switches deployed than other layers is the Access layer. This layer connects end devices, such as computers and phones, to the network and typically requires a larger number of switches to accommodate the greater number of users and devices in a large organization.

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 advantage of using switches rather than hubs?

The major benefit of a switch over a hub is the increase in the amount of collision domains. This allows a switched network to benefit from full duplex transmissions, negating the need for CSMA/CD, and doubling the potential throughput for each network segment. Switches typically operate at layer 2 of the OSI model, using destination MAC addresses within the Ethernet frame to intelligently filter or forward packets.
