Ellis,

A Cisco Layer 3 switch is a Cisco IOS router in a switch.

Subject: [fw-wiz] CISCO Layer 3 switch

I'm not that familiar with layer 3 switch, and hope someone can point me to
the right direction.

In term of security, what is the different between a CISCO packet filtering
router and a CISCO layer 3 switch with extended ACL ??

Would it be easier to compromise a layer 3 switch than a PF router ??

Thanks
