Switch Description
Layer 3 switching is the integration of two proven technologies: switching and routing. Layer 3 switches are running the same
routing routines and protocols as traditional routers. The main difference between traditional routing and Layer 3 switching is
the addition of a group of Layer 2 switching domains and the execution of routing routines for most packets via an ASIC – in
hardware instead of software.
The DES-3326S can also replace key traditional routers for data centers and server farms, routing between these locations and
the rest of the network, and providing 24 ports of Layer 2 switching performance combined with wire-speed routing.
