These will be for production environment.

*Cisco EtherSwitch HWICs are 10/100BaseT Layer 2 Ethernet switches with
Layer 3 routing capability. (Layer 3 routing is forwarded to the host, and
is not actually performed at the switch.). Traffic between different VLANs
on a switch is routed through the router platform. *
Thanks,
Haroon
