![]() However, Switch can learn the MAC address.Ī switch is a multi-port bridge. Store MAC address in a lookup table and maintain an address on its own. Store IP address in the routing table and maintain an address on its own. Router will offer NAT, NetFlow and QoS Services Network switches operate at layer two (Data Link Layer) of the OSI model. ![]() Routers operate at Layer 3 (Network) of the OSI model. Here are some important differences between the Router and Switch: The efficiency of the switch can be improved by providing a faster network speed. It can decide which computer is the message intended for and send the message directly to the right computer. ![]() Operating system at the data link layer uses packet switching to receive, process, and forward data.Ī switch offers support to handle the data and knows the particular addresses to send the message. Switches devices use MAC addresses to forward data to the right destination. How Switch work?Ī network switch is also called bridging hub, switching, or MAC bridge. ![]() Many routers also contain wireless radios that allows you to connect Wi-Fi devices. Moreover, many routers contain built-in switches that allow you to connect multiple wired devices. It has one connection to the internet and one connection to your private local network. A router connects multiple networks and tracks network traffic between them.
