Expert Solution

What is the main benefit of using the OSI reference model?

Answer: The main benefit of the OSI model are:

It distinctly separates services, interfaces, and protocols. Hence, it is flexible in nature. Protocols in each layer can be replaced very conveniently depending upon the nature of the network.
It supports both connection-oriented services and connectionless services.

Other advantages:

It is a generic model and acts as a guidance tool to develop any network model.
It is a layered model. Changes are one layer do not affect other layers, provided that the interfaces between the layers do not change drastically.

Why is subnetting used?

Answer: It allows network administrators to break up a single network address into smaller network addresses.

What is a layer 3 switch

A layer 3 switch combines the functionality of a switch and a router. It acts as a switch to connect devices that are on the same subnet or virtual LAN at lightning speeds and has IP routing intelligence built into it to double up as a router.

It can support routing protocols, inspect incoming packets, and can even make routing decisions based on the source and destination addresses. This is how a layer 3 switch acts as both a switch and a router.

The OSI and the TCP/IP reference models are defined in seven and four layers, respectively. Research and discuss why this approach to a network model works better than a single layer model and provide a brief discussion on the benefits of the multi-layer approach. In what other everyday activities could layered approaches also be applied to explain its steps or activities?
