Difference Between Layer 2 Switch & Layer 3 Switch | Difference Between Layer 3 Switch & Router

[@gabestewardson4838]

As someone new to networking this video was great. Gave me the understanding that a network Layer 3 switch could be used as a router instead of getting one rented from the ISP.

[@NetworkEngineerStuff]

Thanks for your comment... Glad to know that the video actually helped you 😊

[@BIllelGuerboukha-pk6ob]

How can we identify from CLI whether the device is Router or Layer03 switch ? Any commands

[@NetworkEngineerStuff]

L3 device will have routing table #sh ip route

[@Ryu0rKen]

I am setting up a LAN for a machine network. I currently have some 2960 layer 2 switches but I need to create multiple vlans. I believe a layer 3 is what I would need since I don't plan on having any WAN with this network setup. Am I correct on this?

[@NetworkEngineerStuff]

Yes ! a layer 3 device is required when you to achieve communication between vlans

Can NAT configure into layer 3 switch ? I faced this same question in an interview 😃

[@NetworkEngineerStuff]

Nat is not supported on Layer 3 switches except for few nexus switches that to depends upon specifications

[@Ed.Miller]

Some Cisco IE/industrial switches support what they call L2 NAT. Not as many features as a router.

[@SAHIL-xm4hy]

What are the difference between Layer-2 and L-3 switch?

[@NetworkEngineerStuff]

layer 2 switch provides only layer 2 (switching) functionality but layer 3 switches are capable of layer 2 and layer 3 functionalities i.e switching and routing

[@SatishRocket-pe3et]

Nice info...just subscribed

[@rogernevez5187]

Therefore: L3 switch = simplified router

[@NetworkEngineerStuff]

Thanks for your comment

[@zuliano05]

If i want to configure a layer 3 switch with a router, wich is the configuration to both interface. i am trying and i have not could.

[@NetworkEngineerStuff]

For layer 3 switch you should enable routing by giving command - ip routing

[@zuliano05]

@@NetworkEngineerStuff yes. This command y to activate the routing between vlans. I understand that. But a want to connect a layer 3 switch with a router and i would like know how can i do that.

Can you be more specific with what you mean by "connect"? What is your goal?
Sorry, just trying to help.

[@nathanruben3372]

If you are describing this kind of simple basic subjects, do not use abbreviation such as VPN, MPLS etc. Just give the full name...

[@NetworkEngineerStuff]
