Layer 2 networks, commonly called L2 networks take into consideration the physical addresses of every device that are connected to them. It is also known as an address for media control (or MAC address). The switch is only concerned only with the MAC address, not the IP address. This network does not perform switchingbut instead redirects data traffic from the source port to the destinations ports. This kind of network needs an external router layer for inter-VLAN communication.
Layer 3 networks also called L3 networks are the same like L2 networks. In contrast to an L2 network the L3 network is equipped with an MAC address table as well as the IP routing table. This allows it to provide dynamic, static routing, and routing among different VLANs.
L3 networks can do more than L3 networks, but they’re not necessarily the right choice for everyone. Contact your provider of network to assist you in deciding which network model is suitable for your situation.
