Explanation

Network switches operate at the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. They use MAC addresses to forward frames within a network segment. Unlike routers that operate at Layer 3 and make decisions based on IP addresses, switches make forwarding decisions based on hardware (MAC) addresses. The Data Link Layer is responsible for node-to-node data transfer and error detection.
