Hello All: Question - By default, out of the box, will a L3 switch simply act as a L2 switch?
I am planning to purchase a Cisco 3550-12G, along with other fiber gigabit ready L2 switches for a LAN upgrade. The current LAN is one huge flat network with a mixture of hubs and switches. I plan to install the 3550 and use it simply as a device to connect the different areas. I do not want the 3550 to act as a L3 switch to start. Is it possible to install this switch and have it act as a L2 device. I would then later start segmenting and enabling the L3 functions of the 3550. Any other suggested implementation methods? This goes along well with my current CCNP switching exam studies, nothing like a little OJT.
