Networking Devices CheatSheet - (Networkwalks - Com) v1

The document provides information about networking devices switches and routers. Switches work at layer 2 of the OSI model and are used to create a single network. They have many ports and make forwarding decisions based on MAC addresses. Routers work at layer 3, connect different networks, and make forwarding decisions based on IP addresses. They typically have fewer ports than switches and must be configured before use.

Networking Devices Cheatsheet – Part q Version 1

SWITCH
✓ Switches work on Layer-2 of OSI Model
✓ Switches usually have many Ports
✓ Switches are usually Low Cost
✓ Switches create a single Network of devices
✓ Switches provide High Data Rates
✓ Data Frame Forwarding decisions are made using L2 Frames & MAC
✓ Most of switches don’t need to be configured before use
✓ Operations like best path selection in Routers are carried by ASIC (special hardware)
✓ If a Layer-2 Frame is received by a Switch with unknown destination MAC address, then Data frame is broadcasted

ROUTER
✓ Routers work on Layer-3 of OSI Model
✓ Routers usually have few Ports
✓ Routers are usually High Cost
✓ Routers connect different Networks together
✓ Routers provide Low Data Rates
✓ Packet Forwarding decisions are made using L3 Packets & IP Address
✓ Most of Routers must be configured before use
✓ Operations like best path selection & Packet forwarding decisions in Routers are carried by Software
✓ If a Layer-3 IP Packet is received by Router with unknown destination IP address, then the IP Packet is dropped
