New devices capable of high-speed Layer 3 forwarding are required. Layer 3 switches are such devices. Switches cannot replace routers in all scenarios because routers provide rich interface types, good service class control, and powerful routing capabilities that Layer 3 switches cannot provide. ...
By integrating routing capabilities into a switch, layer 3 switches can take the advantages of both switches and routers to improve network performance and scalability. Similar to any other products, a layer 3 switch also has its own drawbacks. It is important to consider its disadvantages when ...

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...
Layer 3 routing capabilities are available on most Cisco Meraki switches. This allows the switches to route traffic between VLANs in a network without the need for an additional layer 3 device. This feature also allows you to control traffic between VLANs using Access Control Lists (ACLs) while...
This cooperation enhances network performance, reliability, and optimizes resource use by assigning specific tasks based on each device's capabilities. Layer 3 Switch VS Router: Similarities and Differences Similarities: A layer 3 switch is both a switch and a router: it can be regarded as a ...
Edited by Admin February 16, 2020 at 3:54 AM In fact, a layer3 switch is a router with additional switching capabilities (or vice versa). I wouldn't think of a layer3 switch as something completely different than a router, because in fact, it is nothing "completely different". The syn...

When two Cisco Nexus 5548/5596 switches are deployed in a vPC domain, both of the switches need to have the same Layer 3 capabilities and the same Layer 3 configuration. The general rule for vPC is that the two devices participating in the vPC domain must have the same fun...
