Thanks Chris and Berni.
Useful link too.

In the office network, which has a router, one switch and several PCs
from the switch, is the router the only device which (probably?) knows
the IP addresses of all the PCs?

How does a switch know that one of its connections is from a router,
and the other connections are from PCs, which it presumably has to know?
