Yeah, the 4100 series (and 2600, 2610, and 2800) series will do layer 3, but HP calls 'em basic L3 switches.
What that means it is the basic L3 switches have limits with regards to the size of routing table (16 static routes MAX), the number of VLANs it will route between, the size of the ARP cache the routing engine uses (128 MAC addresses), and have absolutely no support for dynamic routing (RIP, OSFP, etc). It's a night and day difference in capacity between a HP basic L3 switch an a full L3 switch like a Cisco 3550, 3560, or 3750. A HP 2900 or 3400cl switch is more comparable to the Cisco, and even then the Cisco has quite a few more features. Just thought I would add all that ;) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > The 4108 is a IP Routing switch. If I remember correctly it will handle > routing 16 VLANS byitself..
