Re: Help me understand VLAN Technology

Layer3 Switches are just a Switch & Router built into the same box
together,..no magic,..no voodoo. The only thing different is that they use
the VLAN concept to create a "virtual interface" for the router that you
then assign different switch ports to be a "member" of, and the membership
can be either static or dynamic.

Ahh, gotcha. Yes, this is what I was thinking. But you said it so much
better. :)

So, instead of running around plugging and unplugging cables to put them in
the right "hole" to be on the segment you want, you just redefine the "hole"
using the VLAN software. :-)
