Question

What are cisco routers?

Answer 1

they are switches and switches from one ip to another ip in a predetermined way. Cisco is company name.

Answer 2

A router is like a traffic cop directing traffic. It looks at the IP address of each incoming and outgoing packet and directs it to the correct destination, rather than broadcasting the packet to every computer on the net .in a shotgun effect hoping it will get to the right place, which is what most home LANs actually DO, by the way. Cisco just happens to be one manufacturer of these devices, a very GOOD manufacturer it so happens...
