However, if we want to go out to the rest of the world and maybe communicate with a router, how do we do that? In this video we're going to take a look at an option, and that option is to take one of our layer two ports and make it a layer three port. In other words, make it a routed port. If we have a layer three or multi-layer switch, what we can do is attach our switch to a router, and we're going to go into that switch port that's interconnecting with a router and we're going to configure it as a routed port. So let's say that this link between the switch and the router is on the 203.0.113.0/30 network. That means there are only two usable IP addresses on this link interconnecting these devices. We'll say that the switch end of that link ends in a .2 and the router…
