A network technician is installing a new edge router to interconnect two separate corporate subnets. At which OSI model layer do routers operate to forward packets using logical IP addressing?
- AData Link Layer (Layer 2)
- Network Layer (Layer 3)Cevap
- CTransport Layer (Layer 4)
- DPhysical Layer (Layer 1)
Cevap
Network Layer (Layer 3)
Routers operate primarily at the Network Layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model. At Layer 3, network traffic is packaged into packets containing source and destination logical IP addresses, allowing routers to determine path choices and forward data across multiple subnets.
