The interface is switched to Layer 3 mode. By default, an Ethernet interface works in Layer 2 mode. When you run this command on an interface, the mode switching configuration takes effect when only attribute configurations (such as shutdown and description configurations) exist on the interface...
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...
Compare Layer 2 and Layer 3 network switches and learn when to use each one to create a properly functioning network
The interface is switched to Layer 3 mode. By default, an Ethernet interface works in Layer 2 mode. When you run this command on an interface, the mode switching configuration takes effect when only attribute configurations (such as shutdown and description configurations) exist on...
We will learn the various features and application of Switches at layer-2 and layer-3 of the OSI reference model. We will explore the fundamental differences between the working method of layer-2 and layer-3 switches here. The basic concept which branches out the way of working between both...
- I understand that Layer 3 switches does the IP routing and layer 2 doesn't (mac addresses). What I need to understand clearly is: When I look at a layer 2 switch (show run) I see that the default vlan1 has no ip address and is shut down, a new vlan was created vlan10 and ...
of Layer 2, and to handle Layer 3 IP packets, Layer 3 switching technology was born. The working principle of Layer 3 switching technology: Layer 3 switching works in the third layer of the OSI, that is, the network layer. It uses the packet header information of the IP packet in the...
i will look on it, since my requirement Switch2 is L3 switch, and Switch 1 & 3 is L2 switches. thank you so much, @Martin L I will absorb the notes you put in. LikeReply Martin L a year ago U welcome; in real world, L2 switch like c2960 and 2950s will have only 1 SV...
The Cisco SM-X Layer 2/3 EtherSwitch Service Modules (Cisco SM-X Layer 2/3 ESM) integrates the Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching features and provide the Cisco 2900 series and Cisco 3900 series ISRs the ability to use the Cisco SM-X Layer 2/3 ESM as an independent Layer 3...
