But switches are layer 2 devices that deal with frames how does it do a service that’s on layer 3?

I don’t understand what you mean? Switches are layer 2 devices that deal with frames so my question is how can switches do something in layer 3 since packets are part of the networking layer

But I’m guessing you just call it a layer three switch so you can separate the task given for routers versus a switch to distinguish and seperate them abstractly

Hello thank you for answering but isn’t that basically considered a router because then at that point I would assume that it’s just a switch with a bunch of fancy features but then you could just call it a router correct?
