The theory of layer 3 switching is fairly straightforward, logically and physically. The implementation of a well designed network integrating L3 with VLANs/BVIs, channels and tunnels is less immediately apparent. As aforementioned in a previous thread comment, Cisco does have some setup configs published at the CCO. I think all of us could use a 'best practice setup for multiple VLANs, dynamic VLAN issues, QOS, and some other details found in an L3 switch like the 2948G-L3. Best, G. first of all a switch will always switch faster than a router since the router has a processor and a switch has a ASIC specific for switching. now a router not only switches the packets but will process it for access restrictions and queueing. thus slowing things down compared switches that perform none of this. sure remove all these aspects and you come closer to a switch, but remember the router still has more overhead to deal with in keeping routing tables up to date. ---etc--- --etc-- -etc-- **NOTE: New CCNA/CCDA List has been formed.
