Routers and switches are both computer networking devices that allow one or more computers to be connected to other computers, networked devices, or to other networks.
The functions of a router, switch and hub and are all different, even if at times they are integrated into a single device.
Routers connect two or more logical subnets, which do not necessarily map one-to-one to the physical interfaces of the router.
The term layer 3 switch often is used interchangeably with router, but switch is really a general term without a rigorous technical definition. In marketing usage, it is generally optimized for Ethernet LAN interfaces and may not have other physical interface types.
