Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Question:
Describe the difference between routing and switching.
Answer:
Routing moves a letter or telephone call to the access layer (as in a street or telephone exchange). Switching makes the final delivery. A switching decision is made on the part of the address that is not used in routing (as in the street number or last four digits of a phone number).
