Hello all,

Its it my understanding that a device is considered a router if it has a routing table? What I am trying to find out is how to differentiate a switch from a router. I use routers as gateways, however switches are not gateways. But if NV comes across a switch which happens to have a routing table (Such as a switch with an L3 card in it) it will interpret that device as a router and place it as a gateway?
