Which addresses or combination of address es does a layer 3 switch use to make forwarding dicisions?

A Layer 3 switch uses IP addresses to make forwarding decisions. It examines the destination IP address in the packet's header to determine the best path for forwarding. Additionally, it may utilize routing tables, which contain network prefixes and associated next-hop addresses, to efficiently route packets between different subnets. This enables Layer 3 switches to perform both switching and routing functions within a network.
