Switch Function Report

The document describes the operation of a network switch. It explains that a switch is a device that connects LAN networks and equipment and operates at the data link layer of the OSI model. It describes a simulation conducted in Packet Tracer where a switch is configured with 4 PCs to verify how the switch sends and receives data packets between the connected devices.
