hi all
i am confused about the capabilities of a switch. When a host sends information that is supposed to belong to a host in another network, when this information goes through the physical media in it's network and finally comes across a switch, can the switch determine that the frame is destined for another network? does the switch forward the data to the router? what happens? please tell me. thanks
