The last three statements are correct, the first two are wrong. It's a little strange to me, but what is it?
How can the last point be a distinguishing feature? She's on Layer 3 switch, too.
no, switches have ethernet ports and no serial ports. WAN connection via layer 3 switches run either via the rj45 port or via a sfp module, which is plugged into a GBIC and is then optionally connected to a glass phaser.
It's irrelevant. Fact is switches have serial ports, the use is not relevant in the statement. Therefore, the fact that routers have serial ports seems to me to be a distinguishing feature.
it is not about the console port, which I configure the switch, but about serial interfaces for the wan connection.
Are you kidding me? Of course, most have a serial port, called "Console". And you can push over it by hand ne Config.
Right:
Switches have F0, FA, GA interfaces
Routers have high-speed WAN interface card slots
Routers usually have serial and Ethernet interfaces
Wrong:
Switches have EHWIC slots in case.
Slots can be found on routers, not on switches
Switches have WHIC slots in case.
There are no WHIC slots.
