An L3 switch is sort of like a high powered router. These switches use hardware to route packets of information, as opposed to a regular router which uses software.
A router doesnt have a Supervisor Engine. whereas a switch requires a supervisor Engine. A Switch like 6500 and 4500 can't work without a Supervisor Engine. A Sup Engine works like a brain of the L3 chassis type switches. All the data forwarding decisions are take by the Sup Engine. suppose you have a service module based switch like 6500 and 4500 switch then by just upgrading the service module can help you enhance the switching capacity to 10G from 1G. If using Sup Engine 720.
A switch has two states, on and off.
A managed switch is a network switch, which is used for connecting computers and network devices. It is handy because it allows you to handle individual ports of the switch.

Toggle = back and forth, or on and off. A toggle switch toggles (turns) a light or other device on or off. Good example is a light switch (the wall kind)-- a toggle switch must also be of the "throw the stick back and forth" kind. Which a light switch basically is.

Try L2+L3+R3 Hope this helps!
WHAT IS L3 AND R3
A router can provide firewall protection, port forwarding, DSL login information and data encryption and a host of other features that a simple data switch cannot.
If I am not mistaken, L3 is clicking down the left analog stick
How do L1, L2, and L3 work
Click the Left analog stick ,that's L3
A layer 3 switch has routing capability like a router. However, it also has layer 2 switching capabilities like a switch. To fulfill both functions, layer 3 switches will generally have a greater number of ports than most routers.
You might need to use the L3 button in various Xbox 360 games. The L3 button is from clicking in the left stick.
Switches are Layer 2 devices only while Routers operate at Layer 3. Switches by definition transfer data frames by readingFrame'sDestination MAC address & sendingitout throughtheport to which mac address (if found in table) is connected. While Routers perform data transfer by reading IP Addresses on Packets. Switches connect devices within same network number while Routers can connect several networks & support different technologies for data transportation.
Usually between L2-L3 or L3-L4.
to press the l3 button you press down on the left analog stick
