Implementing Inter-VLAN Routing Deploying CEF-Based Multilayer Switching Layer 3 Switch Processing In Layer 3 switches, the control path and data path are relatively independent. The control path code, such as routing protocols, runs on the route processor. Data packets are forwarded by the switching fabric. Layer 3 Switch Processing (Cont.) Layer 3 switching can occur at two different locations on the switch. Centralized switching: Switching decisions are made on the route processor by a central forwarding table. Distributed switching: Switching decisions can be made on a port or line-card
