Hi,

A switch is a network device that operates at the Data Link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It handles data traffic within a network by using the MAC (Media Access Control) addresses of devices (Frame Reception, MAC Address Learning, MAC Address Table, Frame Forwarding Decision, Unicast Forwarding, Broadcast and Multicast Forwarding, VLAN Handling, Loop Prevention, Error Handling).

By performing these operations, switches provide efficient and reliable data forwarding within a network. They use the MAC address table to make forwarding decisions, minimizing unnecessary traffic by directing frames only to the intended recipients. Switches also facilitate network segmentation, VLAN support, and loop prevention to optimize network performance and ensure proper communication between devices.

Thanks
