Cisco networks L2 and L3 switches offerings. Partner in India



Cisco is a leading provider of networking equipment, and offers a wide range of L2 and L3 switches to meet the needs of organizations of all sizes.

L2 (Layer 2) switches provide data link layer (MAC) addressing and are designed to handle traffic within a single broadcast domain. They are typically used for LANs (Local Area Networks) and are commonly used to connect end-user devices such as PCs, servers and printers. Cisco offers a wide range of L2 switches that are designed to meet the needs of small, medium, and large organizations.


L3 (Layer 3) switches, on the other hand, provide routing functionality in addition to data link layer (MAC) addressing. They are typically used for WANs (Wide Area Networks) and are commonly used to connect remote offices and branch locations. Cisco offers a range of L3 switches that provide advanced routing and security features and are designed to meet the needs of medium and large organizations.

Difference between L2 and L3 switches

L2 switches provide data link layer (MAC) addressing and are designed to handle traffic within a single broadcast domain. They work at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model and use MAC addresses to forward traffic within a LAN (Local Area Network). They are typically used to connect end-user devices such as PCs, servers, and printers, and are commonly used to create VLANs (Virtual LANs) for network segmentation.

L3 switches, on the other hand, provide routing functionality in addition to data link layer (MAC) addressing. They work at the network layer (layer 3) of the OSI model and use IP addresses to forward traffic between different networks. They are typically used to connect remote offices and branch locations and are commonly used in WAN (Wide Area Network) environments. L3 switches have the ability to perform routing protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and other routing protocols.

In summary, L2 switches are used to connect devices within a single network and forward traffic based on MAC addresses, while L3 switches can connect multiple networks and forward traffic based on IP addresses.
