Swiched vs routed Ethernet
I have received a quote for some Cisco cards that I am a bit confused about the technologies. What I want is a multi-port Ethernet card that I can route between, specifically to create restricted subnets and DMZs. What was quoted is a NM-16ESW, a 16 port 10/100 Ether switch card.
Is this card a switch, or a bunch of routable Ethernet ports, or both?
What card do I want for at least 8 routable Ethernet ports?
