sorry temon.. i think that , some switces as cisco switches(series 1900,2900,...) are configurable ... and contains a operating system as a pc... the configuration features as
-switch name
-password
-VLAN (virtual LAN)..
-ip address to remote configuration..
-....etc
thats right ospf , but so far i ddnt saw cisco switchz in basic lan in sudan that why i answered him depends on my knewloge.. most of complicated lans or vpn in sudan useing cisco routers ..
