Layer 2 switching provides which of the following? Hardware-based bridging (ASIC) Wire speed Low latency Low cost

1 and 3
2 and 4
1, 2 and 4
All of the above

Correct Answer: All of the above

Explanation:

Switches, unlike bridges, are hardware based. Cisco says its switches are wire speed and provide low latency, and I guess they are low cost compared to their prices in the 1990s.
