Detailed explanation-1: -Router. A router directs data requests from one network to another. Routers examine incoming packets to determine the appropriate destination IP address and then forward the packet to that destination. A router can also enable internet access through its connection to a modem, or as a combined modem-router.
Detailed explanation-2: -A network switch connects devices in a network to each other, enabling them to talk by exchanging data packets. Switches can be hardware devices that manage physical networks or software-based virtual devices. Switches form the vast majority of network devices in modern data networks.
Detailed explanation-3: -A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, and, by the IEEE, MAC bridge) is networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device.
Detailed explanation-4: -At the center of the learning function is a part of the switch’s memory. We refer to this memory location as the MAC Address Table. As the switch receives a data packet, it reads the source address and maps the port number to the MAC address in that source field.
