How Do They Differ from Layer 2 Switches?

Layer 2 switches focus on forwarding packets within a single network using MAC addresses.

Layer 3 switches can forward packets across multiple networks using IP addresses, essentially bridging the gap between a switch and a router.

If you're setting up a complex network that demands high performance and seamless communication across VLANs, investing in Layer 2 Network Switches is a smart choice. Many brands, like Grandstream, offer robust Layer 3 switches with advanced features for scalable and secure networking solutions.
