The main concern of packet switching is the loss of packets along the way due to the time required to queue, process, and eventually route packets.

In half-duplex mode, each device can both transmit and receive data at the same time.

The communication is bi-directional in a simplex communication.

In full-duplex mode, both devices can transmit and receive data simultaneously.

This device operates in physical layer in the OSI Model, and Incoming data on any port will be replicated and sent out on all other ports regardless the destination

This device performs in a full-duplex mode so this device transmit and receive data at the same time.

Which layer of the OSI does the switch operate?

It is the interconnect architecture used by a switching device, which redirects the data coming in on one of its ports out to another of its ports.

The fabric architecture makes the switch less efficient in passing traffic from one point to another and avoids collisions.

The CSMA/CD extends to the switching world to avoid collisions as much as possible.

To eliminate unnecessary broadcasts, switch forwards frames based on the destination IP Address.

The first part of the MAC address is the NIC and the second part is the OUI.

What is the layer 2 broadcast address?

A Mechanism deployed to stop the transmission If an incoming signal is detected, to avoid collision.

When a collision is detected, the sender stops transmitting and alerts all other devices with a signal, what is this kind of signal?

At first a switch knows nothing with the devices connected to it because it has to learn where everything is connected, so when it receives a packet it will broadcast the packet to every device in the network.

It is a process of breaking up a broadcast domain into the smaller broadcast domain.

A type of LAG that can configured manually and does not require a partner system to be able to aggregate its member ports.

The resources in this type of switching are reserved and dedicated to a connection and will be released when the connection is torn down
