In modern enterprise networks, both routers and Layer 3 switches play important roles. While routers are traditionally used for connecting different networks, Layer 3 switches combine the speed of switching with the intelligence of routing. 🔹 High-Speed Routing: Layer 3 switches perform routing directly in hardware, making inter-VLAN communication much faster than traditional router-based routing. 🔹 Improved Network Efficiency: They reduce bottlenecks by handling routing within the LAN...
