Accepts a frame from a medium

De-encapsulates the frame

Re-encapsulates the packet into a new frame

Routers perform four functions at Layer 2. They accept a frame from the media, de-encapsulate the packet from a frame, re-encapsulate the packet into a new frame, and forwards the new frame appropriate to the medium of that segment of the physical network.
