Ethernet Switching pertains to the use of Ethernet switches in a local area network (LAN) to forward, filter, and direct data frames between devices. By examining a frame’s MAC address, the switch determines the appropriate output port for that frame, ensuring it reaches its intended recipient. This process operates predominantly at Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI model, enhancing network efficiency by limiting broadcast traffic and maintaining collision domains. Ethernet switches play a pivotal role in creating scalable and organized network infrastructures.
