Re: Layer-2 Switches & Layer3 Switches
L2 Switches - Have the intellignece upto Datalink layer, use the Mac address to forward the frames.
L3 Switches - Mainly used in enterprise LAN environment where demands speed(performance), inter-vlan routing functionality. Inter-VLAN routing and also ensuring the performance of the LAN is not degraded has been to implement Layer 3 switches, which are essentially Layer 2 switches with a routing engine that is designed to specifically route traffic between VLANs in a LAN environment. We cannot say that L3Switch is better than L2Switch or otherway around, since they are placed/used in a different requirement/demand. -Karthik Last edited by kdeivasi : 07-19-2007 at 07:58 PM.
