Nice summary. You touched here on the difference between a Layer 3 switch and a router. I think a full 5-10 minute video on this topic would be helpful. Questions might include: Why would I choose one vs. the other? Advantages/disadvantages relative to the other?

@RandomFaxx 7 ай бұрын

@Asto508 6 ай бұрын

There is none. Every device that is called "router" is doing layer 3 routing and forwarding. Back when I was young, the term "switch" really just meant layer 2 and especially to distinguish it from "hub" which didnˋt have a proper forwarding mechanism based on destination MACs but simply forwarded frames to every conncted device. This video muddles the differences quite a bit.

@@Asto508layer 3 switch is not a router... It doesnt support natting I thought

@Asto508 6 ай бұрын

@@broodjenoodles Layer 3 is referring to the Network Layer which is very commonly the IP layer in most networks and forwarding IP packets is what has been called "routing" since the dawn of time because Layer 3 is the first layer where you actually can have multi-hop routes that require determining the actual path through the network, hence the name Network Layer. Layer 2 is point-to-point only. NATing is basically just a hack to solve the limited 32bit IP address range in IPv4. Even if a router doesn't support it, it's still a router as it handles Layer 3 traffic.

Great video, thanks for clearing this distinction up. I have heard of the two types of switches at work but never understood the final details. My only question (or critique) would be if you extended the comparison table at the end to compare the difference between a Layer 3 switch and a Router. You mentioned that Layer 3 switches can't do everything that a router does, so cliffhanger!! Plus it would make for a good review of what exactly a router does. Thanks

Excellent presentation and graphics / animations as always. About the layer 3 switches and vlans. Well if you create them on the switch, router (cause there is always a router involved), has to be aware as well. Except for every vlan you configure a dhcp server on the switch is created as well. Else all vlans need to be configured from the router / firewall side also, in order for both network devices (router - switch) to be aware of that configuration. Then there are the ports and tagging configuration. At that part, I think you let it hanging on the air a bit.

So, now I'm a bit confused. I've experienced layer 2 switches isolate traffic using tagging; by using tags, especially Port Virtual LAN (VLAN) IDentification (PVID) tags. Can layer 3 switches also do the same without actually creating the Network VLANs as I've experienced the layer 2 switches perform? If so, what is the advantage/disadvantage of performing PVID tagging and trunking vs. Network VLANs as you illustrated for layer 3 switches.
