L2 switch / Layer 2 switch

"A layer 2 (L2) switch is a switching device which receives packets containing data or control information on one port, and based on a media access connection (MAC) address contained within the packet, switches the packet out another port.

Conventional L2 switches perform this switching function by evaluating layer 2 (L2) header information contained within the packet in order to determine the proper output port for a particular packet. The L2 switch includes a table that maps MAC addresses with output ports. If a MAC address is unknown (i. e. , there is no corresponding entry in the table), then the corresponding packet is broadcast to all output ports with the hope that another component in the packet switched communication system will recognize the MAC address (and pass back information to the forwarding L2 switch to update its table). Other types of L2 devices include bridges."
