ALayer 3 switchoperates at both Layer 2 (data link) and Layer 3 (network) of the OSI model. It combines the MAC address switching of Layer 2 with IP routing capabilities, allowing it to manage traffic between subnets or VLANs without a standalone router. How Layer 3 Switches Work IP Ro...
Switch layer 3 vs layer 2 Key Differences: 1. A layer 2 switch is designed to perform Layer 2 functions, while a layer 3 switch performs both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions (routing). 2. Layer 2 switches are less expensive and more efficient than layer 3 switches. They also have a ...
I didn't configured any inter vlan routing on the layer 3 switch. However I am able to ping the gateway of VLAN 20 from PC in VLAN 10 and vice versa (Assuming both IP's configured on the switch are associated with the switch itself), The same when configured on layer 2 switch I am...
This is not a simple Layer 2 switch and router superimposed. Layer 3 routing modules are directly superimposed on the high-speed backplane bus of Layer 2 switching, breaking through the interface rate limit of traditional routers, and the rate can reach tens of Gbit/s. Together with backplane...
This video introduces how to switch between Layer 2 and Layer 3 modes of an interface on an AR router.
L3 Switch receives the ARP request from PC A and finds that 10.1.1.1 is the IP address of its own Layer 3 interface. L3 switch then sends an ARP reply to PC A. The ARP reply carries the MAC address of its Layer 3 interface (MAC Switch). In addition, L3 switch adds the mapping be...
As a result, devices in separate VLANs require a Layer 3 forwarding device (e.g.: a router) to communicate with each other. The L3 device can be external to the switch or it can be a feature in the same switch. Layer2-only switches require an external L3 routing device to provide ...

When deciding whether to add a Layer 3 switch to a network, it is advisable to look at some of the device’s downsides. Here are some things to consider before purchasing them: Cost:A Layer 3 switch costs significantly more than a traditional Layer 2 switch. In addition, configuring and ...
