2. Network switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

   A modular network switch with three network modules (a total of 36 Ethernet ports) and one power supply A five-port layer-2 switch without management functionality. Modern commercial switches primarily use Ethernet interfaces. The core function of an Ethernet switch is to provide multiple ports of layer-2 bridging.

3. Port (computer networking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(computer_networking)

   In computer networking, a port or port number is a number assigned to uniquely identify a connection endpoint and to direct data to a specific service. At the software level, within an operating system, a port is a logical construct that identifies a specific process or a type of network service.

4. Spanning Tree Protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_Tree_Protocol

   A network administrator has manually disabled the switch port. When a device is first attached to a switch port, it will not immediately start to forward data. It will instead go through a number of states while it processes BPDUs and determines the topology of the network.

5. Computer network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network

   Bridges only have two ports but a switch can be thought of as a multi-port bridge. Switches normally have numerous ports, facilitating a star topology for devices, and for cascading additional switches. Bridges and switches operate at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model and bridge traffic between two or more network segments to form ...

6. Switching loop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switching_loop

   Switching loops can cause misleading entries in a switch's media access control (MAC) database and can cause endless unicast frames to be broadcast throughout the network. A loop can make a switch receive the same broadcast frames on two different ports, and alternatingly associate the sending MAC address with the one or the other port.

7. Private VLAN - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_VLAN

   Private VLAN, also known as port isolation, is a technique in computer networking where a VLAN contains switch ports that are restricted such that they can only communicate with a given uplink. The restricted ports are called private ports .
