Detailed explanation-1: -The main functions of Switch include 1. Physical Address, 2. Network Topology, 3. Error Check, 4.
Detailed explanation-2: -Switches can connect different network types (such as Ethernet and Fast Ethernet) or networks of the same type. Many switches today offer high-speed links, like Fast Ethernet, which can be used to link the switches together or to give added bandwidth to important servers that get a lot of traffic.
Detailed explanation-3: -Switches prevent collision by buffering Ethernet frames, that is, if multiple nodes want to send data to a single node, switch makes sure that the data are transmitted from the switch port in series by buffering the data in switch memory (forms queue) and hence avoiding collision.
