How much traffic is a 48-port gigabit switch capable of switching when operating at full wire speed?
- 48 Gb/s, by providing full bandwidth to each port
- 1 Gb/s, because data can only be forwarded from one port at a time
- 44 Gb/s, due to overhead requirements
- 24 Gb/s, because this is the maximum forwarding rate on Cisco switches
Explanation: A switch operating at full wire speed is capable of switching the cumulative amount of each port on the switch. A 48-port gigabit switch could forward (48 x 1 Gb/s = 48 Gb/s) of data. Forwarding rates are determined based on the capabilities of each switch.
