Hi OK I'll bite... Yes there is a difference. It gets a little convoluted, but there is a difference. L3 switching: Think of a L3 switch as a multi port router that operates at wire speed. The 2948G-L3 is an example. It is just a 50 port Ethernet router. So L3 switching is routing traffic at wire speeds. You could use one of these to route between VLANs, or route between networks. Inter-VLAN routing: This is a technique, technology that is only used to route traffic from one VLAN to other VLAN(s). It generally takes place at wire speeds inside a Cat switch with a L3 switch option, but is often see with routers that do not work at wire speeds. So the bottom line... think of a L3 switch as a device, and Inter-VLAN routing as a technology.
