How LAN Switches Work
The "How Stuff Works" website has a neat introductory article that explains how switches work. It is obviously based on a technical document from the Cisco website which was enhanced with various networking fundamentals.
The article actually goes into some serious detail, even Spanning Tree, VLAN Trunking and more are explained. Makes a good reading for lunch!
