Advanced Networking - L3 switches vs Routers

• L3 switch do switching at layer 3 by preserving the source and destination mac and preserving the TTL value of the IP header of the 1st routed packet, so the first packet is routed using normal routing lookup, but after that all packet are switched.

• Switches doesnt support some QoS features.

• Switches don't support NAT

• The forwarding on switches is done on ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) which is done in hardware rather than a software. Forwarding in Routers are done with Software.

• Routers support different WAN technologies (such as modules) while switches do not.
•  Routers do normal routing lookup, but by introducing fast switching and CEF, packets are also now switched on a router.
• Routers were devices that connected the LAN to the WAN and switches were just LAN devices and you may add a layer 3 switch to the lan if you had some vlans and didn't want to use a router.
• Routers seem to support more traffic monitoring features, such as netflow and nbar where as Layer 3 switches don't seem to have that kind of support.... until you get to the 6500

• The hardware inside a Layer 3 switch merges that of traditional switches and routers, replacing some of a router's software logic with hardware to offer better performance in some situations.
• Layer 3 switches often cost less than traditional routers. Designed for use within local networks, a Layer 3 switch will typically not possess the WAN ports and wide area network features a traditional router will always have.

Advanced Networking: Trunking

Trunking - in a VLAN concept, this means carrying multiple VLANS (re: Different) through one VLAN link. This is done via the 802.1Q standard which dictates that a tag be added to each Ethernet header to differentiate it from another VLAN.

Cisco also has it's own means of do this by encapsuling a frame into a container, with the container being sufficient to identify the VLAN that the frame is associated with. This is called "Inter-Switch Link". Obviously this technology is only supported by Cisco devices.

Advanced Networking - Cables

I'm going to change it up a bit and post some of my networking notes that I took a few weeks back:


Bonded ethernet - Connecting 2 switches together to balance the load. Takes a couple ethernet links and splits it up.
EARL - Encoded Address Resource Logic - balances the traffic

Everything is done with full duplex - It makes more sense and errors will show up (if any) as FCS (Frame Check Sequence) errors in the logs

You have to limit errors on the line because as speed picks up, these errors acculumate and slow everything down.

Etherchanel - splices mutliple ethernet bandwiths together but makes them function as 1 cable due to software.
40gb and 100gb ethernet cable actually rolls together multiple cables to reach the desired bandwith but is managed at the hardware level.

802.3bj - attempting to reach 100gb speeds on copper cable expected by march 2014. Cheaper because of copper.
