Basic operations of a switch
4.2.5 Switching is a technology that decreases congestion in Ethernet, Token Ring, and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) LANs. Switches use microsegmentation to reduce collision domains and network traffic. This reduction results in more efficient use of bandwidth and increased throughput. LAN switches often replace shared hubs and are designed to work with cable infrastructures already in place.
The following are the two basic operations that switches perform:

The following are the two basic operations that switches perform:
- Switch
data frames
- The process of receiving a frame on a switch interface, selecting the
correct forwarding switch port(s), and forwarding the frame.
- Maintain
switch operations - Switches build and maintain
forwarding tables. Switches also construct and maintain a loop-free
topology across the LAN.
