Switches :<\/strong> A Switch is a small hardware device that combines multiple ports with in one local area network (LAN). Network Switches operates at second layer of Open System Interconnection as recognized Data Link Layer. MAC addresses are stored by network switch for each device that is connected and examine each frame that passes through it. Even the destination of MAC is examined by network switch. Network switches may be same as network hubs, the only difference is switch contain more intelligence than hub.<\/p>\n![\"Network](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/Images\/N\/Network-Interface-Card.jpg\")
