Will layer 3 switches route packets between devices on different subnets?

Yes.
Most switches (which operate at layer 2) will NOT route packets between different subnets. However special layer 3 switches DO have this capability.

Sophisticated networks generally use which of the following hardware devices to ease the flow of data packets throughout the network?
Modern networks used two devices for the data packets within the network will flow easily. The two devices are the routers and switches.
What are packets associated with?
Packets relate to the sending and receiving of batches of data between two devices.
Name 2 networking devices that transmit packets based on MAC address?
A MAC address is used as a unique identifier that is assigned to network interfaces. Two networking devices that transmit packets based on MAC addresses are switches and bridges.
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.
How do hubs segregate packets?
Hubs segregate packets because hubs are used as switches. Through a VLAN, hubs, when used as switches, can easily segregate incoming and outgoing traffic.
Can cut -through switches detect corrupt packets?
False
What advantages does a switch have OVER A hub?
Switches send packets only to the destination node while hubs share data to all connected devices. Throughput is increased with switches because of the lower amount of network overhead and lower amount of packet collisions.
What is the function of Point -to- Ponit protocol?
To determine a method of encapsulating data and transport packets between two devices in a network
What are the difference between packets and sockets?
Sockets are were you would put in electrical outlets. Packets are a little more advances and can hold numerous different charges.
What is PPS-4 in microprocessor?
Packets per second - In networking, the amount of packets a device can process per second. Packets per second (pps) is a measure of throughput for network devices such as bridges, routers, and switches. It's a reliable measurement only if all packet sizes are the same. Vendors will often rate their equipment based on pps, but make sure comparisons are made using the same packet sizes.
What is the difference between a wireless port and a router?
I assume you mean wireless access point? A wireless access point allows you to connect wirelessly to a wired network. A router routes packets across different networks/subnets. Both are completely different devices but can be bundled together.
Difference between 802.2 and 802.3 packets?
.1 packets
