A layer 3 device is used to create an internetwork or a network of networks. I am not sure these days how many if any devices have relaying on by default. I would expect that it has to be turned on in the layer 3 device. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Homer Parker Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 10:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Hubs vs Switches On Fri, 31 Oct 2003 21:13:17 -0600 "Ken Chipps" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Correct a layer 2 switch isolates each port in its own collision domain. > You need a layer 3 device to isolate a broadcast domain.
