What are protocols in networking?

Networks use a set of rules called protocols for devices to communicate.

How did networking evolve?

Early networks were limited by proprietary designs, restricting flexibility and compatibility. The introduction of open models like TCP/IP made networks more open and flexible, enabling different devices and vendors to work together.

What is the TCP/IP model?

TCP/IP is organized into layers, each with a specific job, like a team with different roles working together to complete a task. These layers work together to send and receive data.

What are some key protocols in TCP/IP?

TCP/IP is a suite of protocols including popular ones like HTTP for web pages, TCP for reliable data delivery, and IP for network addressing.

How do switches learn MAC addresses?

Switches learn the MAC addresses of devices connected to them by observing the source MAC addresses of incoming frames. This information is stored in a MAC address table, allowing the switch to forward frames directly to the destination device instead of flooding to all ports.

What happens when a switch doesn't know the destination MAC address?

Switches flood frames to all ports except the incoming port when the destination MAC address is not recognized. This ensures the frame reaches its destination even if the switch doesn't know the exact path.
