Right, I understand that inter-VLAN routing requires L3 switching - but is the opposite also true? Does L3 switching require VLANs to be defined? If that is the case, then it would lead me to believe that L3 switching is based on VLAN info and not on the IP address, but I don't think that is correct. Thanks for the help!
