I want to know how the switching and routing engine operate in the 3750 L3 switch. separate or as signle?
for example, worm attack makes resource exausting in the routing engine and eventually clash the routing functionality. in this case, what happen the L2 functionality? still functional even not capable the routing such does in the 6500 SUP and MSFC?
my design goal is keep functional the L2 even problem the inter-VLAN routing. if it works as signle(switching and routing both clash in the case of worm attack), I need implement the inter-VLAN routing in the external router to run the L2 in the 3750.
Please advise.
