LAN Protocols - Switched Ethernet
An Ethernet switch provides connectivity between any two attached Ethernet devices (or segments) on a frame-by-frame basis.
The Media Access Control (MAC)-layer address determines the hub or switch port to which the frame will travel.
In Ethernet switching, a dedicated virtual connection is established between each pair of sending and receiving ports.

The two most common types of Ethernet switches are:
– store-and-forward switches
– fast-forward switches
Store-and-forward switches check each frame for accuracy and then direct the frame to the destination.
Fast-forward switches do not error-check the frame; they merely direct the frame to the appropriate destination.

Key points regarding Fast Ethernet are:
– The 100BaseT standard requires replacement of existing equipment.
– The maximum UTP cable length is 100 meters.
– Category 5 cabling must be used.
– The 100BaseT standard can extend distance capabilities by using fiber optic cable technology.
– The maximum number of repeater hops is two.

The Gigabit Ethernet standard includes three specifications for fiber cabling:
– 1000BaseSX (“S” for short wavelength) defines optical transceivers or Physical Layer devices for laser fiber cabling.
– 1000BaseLX (“L” for long wavelength) defines optical transceivers or Physical Layer devices for laser fiber cabling.
– 1000BaseLH (“LH” for long haul) is a multivendor specification that defines optical transceivers that support distances greater than the 1000BaseLX specification.

Switches isolate traffic between individual workgroups by forming separate collision domains.
A broadcast network or collision domain is a network that consists of nodes attached to the same physical media or hub that receive every transmitted frame on the network.
Broadcast traffic consists of broadcast frames, that have a special destination MAC address of all 1s.

When a switch sees a frame with a broadcast address, it has no choice but to send the frame out every port (except in VLAN applications discussed in the next lesson).

The switch forwards the frame to the correct port based on the destination address of the Ethernet frame, which is addressed to the NIC in the router.
When the router receives the frame, it recognizes its own NIC address. The router then passes the IP packet up to its IP process.

LAN Protocols - Data Flows Across Multiple Networks
The packet arrives at the remote router, which sends the packet on its way to its final destination.
It does this by first decapsulating the packet from the frame relay frame, then encapsulating the packet in a new Ethernet frame addressed to Web Server 1.

Web Server 1’s protocol stack (Point 5) is identical to Client 1, except the Web server has a server application loaded instead of a Web browser.
By the end of this complex process, the client’s request has been successfully delivered to the server.
