Introduction Layer 2 Based Packet Forwarding The ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch uses 10/100/1000 Gigabit Layer 2 switching technology. Layer 2 refers to the Data Link layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, which is concerned with moving data packets across a network by enforcing Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD). This layer performs the following tasks: • Ethernet packet framing • MAC addressing • Physical medium transmission e
