Does a switch have the ability to send IP addresses?

Answer Posted / arunkongara

switches are the layer two device's these are deals with mac address that means it deals with physical address. we will create the ip add for vlans to decompose the broadcast domains
refer the todlamle first chapter switches are not broadcast domains so it will not assign the ips to clients .
even though in clustering of switches we will uses based on physical address and vlans...... sothere is no chance.

and one more thing now a days a router can have diff modules like switch modules that means we will call it as core switches they will assign the ip address to clents
