>Every port of a switch represents a separate LAN.
>Every port of a router represents a separate LAN. No, there are too many definitions of 'switch' and 'router' for either to be true. Some devices which are marketted as "switch" can route, and some devices which are marketted as "routers" can switch. The statements also do not take into account the possibility of IEEE 802.1Q trunk ports, in which there might be several LANs on a single port. | |||||||||||||||||||

Just to add my bit of coal to the fire:-) I don't think that either represents a seperate LAN. LAN - Local Area Network. I have worked on a building that contained 100 6500s and other stuff too. I considered it to be a single LAN. | |||||||||||||||||||
