Question
Explain the need for Data Link Layer Switching
Answer

Layer 2 switching (or Data Link layer switching)

* using devices’ MAC addresses on a LAN to segment a network. Switches and bridges are used for Layer 2 switching

* break up one large collision domain into multiple smaller ones.

* Switches have more ports than bridges, can inspect incoming traffic and make forwarding decisions accordingly

* Each port on a switch is a separate collision domain.

Buy the ebook Layer 2 switching January 26, 2016January 19, 2019 upravnik Layer 2 switching (or Data Link layer switching) is the process of using devices’ MAC addresses on a LAN to segment a network. Switches and bridges are used for Layer 2 switching. They break up one large collision domain into multiple smaller ones. In a typical LAN, all hosts are connected to one central device. In the past, the device was usually a hub. But hubs had many disadvantages, such as not being aware of traffic that passes through them, creating one large collision domain, etc. To overcome some of the problems with hubs, the bridges were created. They were better than hubs because they created multiple collision domains, but they had limited number of ports. Finally, switches were created and are still widely used today. Switches have more ports than bridges, can inspect incoming traffic and make forwarding decisions accordingly. Each port on a switch is a separate collision domain. Here is an example of the typical LAN network used today – the switch serves as a central device that connects all devices together: [imagelink] Differences between hubs and switches To
