With this device and the layer 3 engine, does this allow all ports on 2248 FEX's to be put into layer 3 mode?

Beginning with Cisco Release 5.2(1), you can  configure a Fabric Extender (FEX) port as a Layer 3 interface for host  connectivity, but not for routing

I don't understand, why would you configure a port for layer 3 and not be able to route? Thats what layer 3 is....routing...
