hello,
the difference between layer3 and layer2 switching is that:
*for layer2 switching the switching box use the info in the
second layer of the OSI model(datalink layer) to choose
where to forward the frame while.the info used is the MAC
address ab:34:fe:bla:blabla:blablabla
*while for layer3 switching the box uses the info in the
third layer of the OSI model to make forwarding
decisions.the info in layer3 is the IP address 210.12.x.x
