All right, welcome back everyone. Now we're gonna get into the different types of switch operations right in this particular section. All right now what we're going to talk about is obviously layer two first, that will describe the functionality of a switch on how it forwards that Ethernet frame in layer two. We also will talk about a multi layer switch, which is incorporates layer three, and how they would go ahead what mechanisms do they use to for packets at a higher level of the OSI model using layer three and layer four remember TCP IP, so you have both things going on. We'll take a look at the tables like the MAC address table, and something called also the T cam. ternary.
Champ table Oh information and computation are used to make switching decisions. Alright, and then we'll focus on layer two forwarding and the tribe. Add Content addressable memory used in packet handling and decisions. Now, obviously, this is the ccmp, they want to go a little bit deeper into more of the explanation of how things get forwarded. One of the things that I see that's coming back that used to be in your CCNA was a switching method, which now it's called switching operation. Okay, that was called store and forward, cut through and there's one that escapes me because there are three types.
I'll see if I remember, rather particular section, I'll throw it out there, or maybe before this session is over, and another session, I'll let you know. Alright, well, that's what they're talking about. We know how switches learn. We know what's inside a frame, or switch. But they want you to get a better understanding and know the terminology that they're using at this particular level of the certification. Okay.
Now we're also going to review switch commands. Hallelujah. Okay, we get to do some commands. And these layer three switches they can use to configure and monitor switching tables and the memory itself within the switch to see if you're having, you know, any kind of excessive memory being used with your tablet configuration. Alright, so, yes, like anything else, it's very useful to know all these commands, because when you're troubleshooting a problem, this is normal commands that you need to know. So you can see what's going on.
And your CCNA is the same thing, your CCNA you're stuck inside a switch and you have to figure out based on certain commands that you need to tie to find out the answer. by simple they will be like show VTP status, right, or show CDP neighbor data or show MAC address table. Things like that. Okay, so we'll go on to the commands that we're using now at this particular level to see the information that we require, alright, so this is what we're going to go over. Okay, and then we'll go ahead and get started. I'll see you then.
