In this example, the VLAN definitions are extended to switches A and B. This gives only a single blocked port per VLAN

and allows the removal of all redundant links by removing switch A or B from the network.

Impact of Layer 3 Switching.

The IP routing operational mode of the DGS-3308FG/DGS-3308TG Layer 3 switch can accomplish the following:

•

Building a forwarding table, and exchanging information with its peers using routing protocols.

•

Receiving packets and forwarding them to the correct interface based upon their destination address

With layer 3 switching, there is no performance penalty to introducing a routing hop and creating an additional segment of

the network.
