Well..I've never even seen a 1201 but if it supports rip as a routing protocol, then that should tell you it does layer 3... Don't get confused though... Routing protocols have nothing to do with what layer of the OSI model a device operates on. A switch running just on layer 2 may have the abillity to have multiple segments coming into it, but can not pick packets up from 1 layer 3 network and place them on another layer 3 network. A switch that can operate on layer 3 doesn't have to run rip/ospf/eigrp/etc...to do it. Static routes will work just fine.
