Description

This installation guide describes Enterasys Networks’ Vertical Horizon VH-2402-L3 Fast Ethernet switch. The switch provides 24 10Base-T/100Base-TX ports, plus one slot for optional slide-in 1000Base-SX 1000Base-T and GBIC modules. The switch features a built in SNMP-based Management agent. The VH-2402-L3 support both Layer 2 as well as Layer 3 functionality.

Layer 3 Switching

Layer 3 switching is an integration of two proven technologies: switching and routing. In fact, Layer 3

switches are running the	same routing routines and
protocols as traditional routers. The main difference
between traditional routing and Layer 3 switching is the
addition of a group of Layer 2 switching domains and
the execution of routing routines for most packets via
an ASIC – in hardware instead of software.
