RAM (Random Access Memory): Used for temporary storage and quick access to data needed for running the operating system and managing processes.
Flash Memory: Used to store the switch’s operating system (like Dell’s OS10) and configuration files.
Flash memory retains its contents even when the device is powered off.
Buffer Memory: Used to temporarily hold data packets during transmission, helping to manage traffic and prevent packet loss during congestion.
