The VH-8G-L3 can be thought of as eight Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switching domains with a wire-speed router between each domain. It can be deployed in a network between a traditional router and the intranetwork. The traditional router and its associated WAN interface would then handle routing between the intranetwork and the WAN (the Internet, for example) while the Layer 3 switch would handle routing within the LAN (between the Fast Ethernet Layer 2 domains). The VH-8G-L3 can also re

traditional collapsed backbone router. The VH-8G-L3 Layer 3 switch communicates with a WAN router using a standard Gigabit Ethernet port. Multiple VH-8G-L3 switches can also be linked. Features The VH-8G-L3 was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously. Switch features include: Ports • Six 1000BASE-SX (SC-type fiber transceiver). • Two GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet ports. • RS-232
