The IP routing operational mode of the DES-3326 Layer 3 switch
can accomplish the following:
•
Building a forwarding table, and exchanging information
with its peers using routing protocols.
•
Receiving packets and forwarding them to the correct
interface based upon their destination address
With layer 3 switching, there is no performance penalty to
introducing a routing hop and creating an additional segment of
the network.
