"Routers use Layer 3 switching to route a packet, and Layer 2 switches use Layer 2 switching to forward frames."
above is from the cisco web site. Layer 2 switches use layer2 (ie datalink) for forwarding frames. fine. but for Routers also it says that it uses layer3 for routing, although it is "forwarding" packets between interfaces in a router. right ? (based on packet forwarding decision taken according to the routing table constructed) just wanted to confirm....... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
