[c-nsp] Basic Query......Switches !!!

[Gangasagar Amula]

Dear All,

In our organisation.....we have L2 switches installed each in branches...

Now the users are increasing in each branches....

So we have created one more LAN thro' secondary addresses on the fastethernet
e.g. (ip address 172.32.32.100 255.255.255.0 secondary)

Someone suggested me to go for L3 switches.....

But is this high time to go for such L3 switches....


When one shld think of buying a L3 switches....
What are its benefits...including creating some vlans...what are others...

Shld we go ahead for L3?

Regards,
Sagar.
