What operational feature distinguishes an intelligent network switch from a basic hardware hub?
A. Switches analyze incoming frames and forward them directly to specific ports based on destination MAC addresses.
B. Switches lack physical Ethernet connections.
C. Switches run entirely at the physical layer without checking data links.
D. Switches use analog modulation steps exclusively.
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Switches inspect incoming frames at Layer 2, using an internal MAC address table to forward data directly to the target port rather than broadcasting it to all ports.
