While Layer 3 switches are typically competitively priced, if your budget is limited you may not have a lot of choice when looking for Layer 3-capable switches. If the size of your network is relatively small, adding a Layer 3 switch may increase complexity without providing much in the way...
The Layer 3 switch combines the Layer 2 switching technology with the Layer 3 forwarding function, which means that the Layer 3 switch is based on the Layer 2 switch. The routing function is added to the above, and the IP addresses of different VLANs can be configured, and the communicatio...
Before making your final decision on a switch, it would also be smart to educate yourself on managed and unmanaged switches. The Black Box Explains article “The Difference between Unmanaged, Managed, and Web-Smart Switches” details the difference between these devices....
In this blog, we will explore the differences between the two VPN types i.e. Layer 2 vs Layer 3 VPN Difference Table: Layer 2 vs Layer 3 VPN Below table summarizes the differences between the two: PARAMETERLAYER 2 VPNLAYER 3 VPN
Option 1. Use a physical cable to connect one of the router's interfaces to one of the etherswitches interfaces and treat it just like the etherswitch is a seperate physical switch. I'm sure there is a use case for that but I'll not cover that here. Option 2. Use the...
This limitation is also applicable to switch virtual interfaces (SVI) that are physically terminated on an EtherSwitch module interface. Only Ethernet, HDLC, Frame Relay and VLAN (802.1Q, QinQ, and QinAny) attachment circuits are supported; EVC is not supported. The IP local interface...
The Layer 3 switch was conceived to augment this limitation by developing equipment that has routing capabilities within the same chassis. The hardware is where the main difference lies. Layer 3 switches have a mix of traditional switches and routers, except for the fact that the router’s softw...
There is one additional note to be added here: the MPLS labels cannot transport traffic between routers without a true data link and physical layer protocol (this is a difference from FR and ATM networks). Our MPLS label, etc. are wrapped in whatever data link protocol is running between th...

The electric potential difference between the electric double layers is generated across the electrode/electrolyte interface of a single electrode or half cell. When a solid is in contact with a liquid, a double layer of ions appears at the surface of separation. The double layer consists of ...
