However, the functions of a hub, switch and router are quite different, even if at times they are integrated into a single device. Routers connect two or more logical subnets, which do not necessarily map one-to-one to the physical interfaces of the router. The term layer 3 switch often is used interchangeably with router, but switch is really a general term without a rigorous technical definition. In marketing usage, it is generally optimized for Ethernet LAN interfaces and may not have other physical interface types.
(such as MAC addresses in Ethernet). Similarly, routers are identified as. Layer-3 devices, as routers process logical addressing information in the. Network header of a packet (such as IP addresses). However, the strict definitions of the terms switch and router have blurred. over time, which can result in confusion. For example, the term switch can. now refer to devices that operate at layers higher than Layer-2. This will be. explained in greater detail in this guide.
