Pure Cisco IOS router images do not natively support switching features (like VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol, or EtherChannels). However, the Cisco 3725 image allows users to insert an in network simulators. This feature provides a hybrid router/switch environment, solving a major hurdle for students practicing switching concepts without buying physical hardware.
