According to Clark's Cisco LAN Switching(page 452 ),
layer 3 switching techniques can be grouped
into two categories:
Routing switches

It is far more accurate to describe a layer 3 switch as a router.
A router consists of a control function and forwarding function. In
many modern routers, there is a single control processor and multiple
forwarding engines.

A true router, 2621/3640/7200, is not usually considered
a L3 switch. A 6500 with an MSFC module installed can be
is a L3 switch and will perform L2/L3 routing and switching.
A 6500 without the MSFC module is just a large high speed switch,
capable of only L2 switching.

Hi,
The term "layer 3 switch" is used to describe a switch
that has routing capabilities. In the 6509, routing is
handled by the MSFC daughtercard on the Sup module.
If you do a 'show module' the MSFC is in slot 15
and/or 16. If you do a 'session 15' you
