Hai there, i reallly want to know how Layer 3 switch works? As it has both layer 3 routing as well as layer 2 switching...For example 3750 has both functions.How does switching and routing function are done??? Let us say port 1 act as default gateway for hosts(172.20.0.1,255.255.248.0) connected to a 2960 switch.Port 2- 5 are need to be connected to hosts in diffrent subnet (172.20.8.1,255.255.252.0).The SFP port of 3750 is connected to another 3750 (diffrent network,10.0.0.1)and ip range same as (172.20.8.0,255.255.255.252).How the traffic will be routed from outside network thru SFP and reach the pc's?how the traffic is between switched ports and routed ports?how the trafiice is between routed ports??
please do shower me some ideas reg this.......
