Layer 2 switches are typically deployed at the access layer and cannot function as gateways of users. Precautions Switch configurations used in this example apply to S series switches running V600. This example uses router configurations of AR651 V300R022C10. For other router configurations, see ...
Layer 2 switches are typically deployed at the access layer and cannot function as gateways of users. Precautions Switch configurations used in this example apply to S series switches running V600. This example uses configurations of USG6655E V600R007C00. For other firewall configurations, see "Bas...
For example, the Switch can be configured to implement four Gigabit Ethernet ports and twelve Fast Ethernet ports or non-standard configurations such as a 2Gbps port with multiple 200Mbps ports. Figure 4: Switch Block Diagram The switch does not require any external device apart from a ...
Here are other major advantages of Layer 2 switching: fast hardware-based bridging (using ASICs chips) wire speed low latency low cost Here is an example of the typical LAN network – the switch serves as a central device that connects all devices together: Differences between hubs and ...
The theory of a layer 2 switch is that when the switch receives a data packet from a certain port, it will first read the source MAC address in the packet, then read the destination MAC address in the packet, and look up the corresponding port in the address table. , if there is a...
For example, a network host might have both the IP address of 68.98.134.209 and a MAC address of 00-0c-41-53-40-d3. The router makes decisions based on the IP address (68.98.134.209), whereas the switch makes decisions based on the MAC address (00-0c-41-53-40-d3). Both address...
Switching Loop example The following image shows a switching Loop. Let us see how it works. PC1 generates a broadcast frame. The frame reaches S1 on switch Port one. The S1 switch reads the source and destination addresses of the frame. ...

Step 2 interface interface-id Example: Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/1 Specifies a physical port, and enters interface configuration mode. Valid interfaces are physical ports. For a PAgP EtherChannel, you can configure up to eight por...
