Firewall + 2 Layer Switch = Router??

Another one of the useful things I came across in my career… We had 3 different network id’s and was planning to route them. At first the plan was  to go for a 3 layer switch, but it was damn costly. After doing some homework, I was damn surprised that the same can be achieved using a 2 layer switch and a firewall. Luckily we had both… Just create VLAN’s in 2 layer switch. Assign IP for them in firewall and create rules in it to route them. Wow I never imagined it to be so simple :D
