Layer 3 switch, often referred to as multilayer switch, are switches that perform both routing and switching functions. By default, layer 3 switches can perform switching functions; however, for a layer 3 switch to perform routing functions, we need to enable IP routing on the switch interfaces from global configuration mode. In our previous post,

Similar to a router, a Layer 3 switch can route traffic using Layer 3 information. A layer 3 switch is a device that can perform both routing and switching functions. We simply need to enable IP routing on the switch interface when we want to use it for routing purposes. It performs switching by default.

Any basic network will definitely consist of a router, switch, and PC, so as a networking student, you need to learn how to configure router switch and PC in packet tracer. A router is a network device that responsible to routing traffic to other host devices in the network or to the internet. A switch

Connecting and configuring three routers in Packet Tracer can be a complex task, especially if you are not familiar with static route configuration. Additionally, when attempting to connect more than two devices to router, such as switches and/or other routers, you may encounter challenges because routers typically have two interfaces (g0/0 and g0/1) available for

Looking for How to connect two LANs in Packet Tracer? In this guide, I will show you various ways to do that. A local area network is a network used to interconnect host devices exiting a particular building or different buildings that is closely positioned. A local area network normally consists of one router, switches,

When dealing with multiple VLANs that span two or more switches, a trunk link comes in handy to segregate traffic for specific VLANs as it travels across the cables that connect one switch to another. A Trunk Link is established by configuring the trunk port on each of the switches attempting to form a trunk
How To Configure Trunk Port on Multilayer Switch in Packet Tracer Read More »
In my previous post, I showed you how to configure a multilayer switch with the network topology shown above. In that post, I showed you the process of creating SVI, creating trunk links between the Layer 3 switch and each of the Layer 2 switches, and also the process of creating access ports on each

A Layer 3 switch, also known as a multilayer switch, is a type of switch that is capable of both routing and switching functions. Unlike the Layer 2 switch, the Layer 3 switch operates one layer higher in the OSI model, specifically at Layer 3. This distinction allows the Layer 3 switch to operate on
