<prompt> Hlalosa phapang pakeng tsa router le switchnan  <response>: Instruction in English: Describe the difference between a router and a switch . Response in English: A router and a switch are both devices used in networking, but they serve different purposes.A router is a device that connects multiple networks together and directs traffic between them. It uses protocols such as IP Internet Protocol to route data packets to their destination, and it can also perform other functions such as network address translation NAT, firewalling, and traffic shaping. Routers are commonly used to connect a home or office network to the internet, or to connect multiple office networks together.On the other hand, a switch is a device that connects multiple devices together on a single network. It uses MAC addresses to direct data packets to their destination within the network, and it operates at the data link layer Layer 2 of the OSI model. Switches are commonly used in office networks to connect multiple computers, printers, and other devices to each other and to a router.In summary, a router connects multiple networks and directs traffic between them, while a switch connects multiple devices on a single network and directs traffic within that network. . Response in Sesotho: Router le switch ke lisebelisoa ka bobeli tse sebelisoang marang-rang, empa li sebeletsa merero e fapaneng. Router ke sesebelisoa se kopanyang marang-rang a mangata hammoho le ho tsamaisa sephethephethe pakeng tsa bona. E sebelisa liprothokholo tse kang IP Internet Protocol ho tsamaisa lipakete tsa data ho ea moo li eang teng, hape e ka etsa mesebetsi e meng joalo ka phetolelo ea aterese ea marang-rang NAT, firewalling, le sebopeho sa sephethephethe. Hangata li-routers li sebelisoa ho hokahanya marang-rang a lehae kapa a ofisi ho marang-rang, kapa ho hokahanya marang-rang a mangata a liofisi hammoho. Ka lehlakoreng le leng, sesebelisoa ke sesebelisoa se kopanyang lisebelisoa tse ngata hammoho le marang-rang a le mong. E sebelisa liaterese tsa MAC ho tsamaisa lipakete tsa data moo li eang teng ka hara marang-rang, me e sebetsa ho lera la khokahanyo ea data Lera 2 la mohlala oa OSI. Li-switches li sebelisoa hangata marang-rang a ofisi ho hokahanya likhomphutha tse ngata, liprinta le lisebelisoa tse ling ho tse ling le ho router. Ka kakaretso, router e kopanya marang-rang a mangata me e tsamaisa sephethephethe pakeng tsa bona, ha sesebelisoa se kopanya lisebelisoa tse ngata marang-rang a le mong mme se tsamaisa sephethephethe ka hara marang-rang ao.
