5-2. Layer 3 Ethernet Interfaces

· Layer 3 switching requires an interface on the switch that can forward packets based on Layer 3 addressing.
· Each Layer 3 interface defines a separate broadcast domain and therefore a separate network.
· After a Layer 3 interface has been configured with a protocol, it can act as a gateway for other devices in the same broadcast domain.On some switches, you can configure an Ethernet port (interface) as a Layer 3 interface
