### L3 Implementations Overview

The L3 implementations showcase RIP and OSPF protocol configurations on `ToR72p-n` and `ES1-24p-n`. The links between all the switches are configured as access links. Two VLANs are configured as tagged on the port connecting to `host-1` and `host-3`. VLANs 150, 151 are on the core switch and VLANs 100, 101 are on `ES1-24p-n` switches.

Once the routing protocol is enabled, all routes advertised from neighboring switches are learned dynamically. Switches will have a similar routing table with potentially different paths to reach different networks. Although VLANs 150, 151, 100, and 101 are not defined on `ToR72p-n` switches, these switches learn the information to reach these VLANs as soon as the neighboring switches advertise them.

In the L3 examples, an IXIA traffic generator connected to the core switch is used to send 500 routes. All the switches in the topology learn these routes dynamically through RIP or OSPF depending on the configuration. Ping tests are used to test the reachability of different networks.
