Hi, as you said, switch connect 2 computers, but the switch doesn't
assigne IPs for them, so how can the switch do it?

Check out my reply, I explained it in detail. Basically, it starts out
simply copying every packet it receives out every other port on the
switch. When it sees packets, it notes the source ethernet hardware
address and sends later packets to that same hardware address out only
that port.
