Impact of Layer 3 Switching.

The IP routing operational mode of the DES-3326S 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.
