Yes, you will need a layer three device, either a router or a RSM module for your switch. Routing is required whenever you need to communicate between different subnets.

I was told that a Layer 3 switch or a router must be used on my network if I am to subnet my address space and have the different subnets be able to communicate. It has been a long time since I have done this and I don't recall.
