Layer 2 switching refers to the process of forwarding frames based on MAC addresses within a local area network. It operates at the OSI model’s Data Link layer and is the primary method used by network switches to connect devices on the same network segment.
Layer 2 switches learn which devices can be reached through which physical ports by inspecting the source
VLANs are commonly used with Layer 2 switches to segment broadcast domains. Ports can be configured as
Performance and security considerations play a key role in design. Layer 2 switching enables high-speed, full-duplex
In practice, Layer 2 switching forms the access layer of most enterprise networks, while Layer 3 routing
