How to Configure Routing Between VLANS

Configuring Banyan VINES Routing over ISL
Banyan VINES can be routed over VLAN subinterfaces using the ISL encapsulation protocol. The
Banyan VINES Routing over ISL Virtual LANs feature provides full-feature Cisco IOS software Banyan
VINES support on a per-VLAN basis, allowing standard Banyan VINES capabilities to be configured
on VLANs.
To route Banyan VINES over ISL between VLANs, you need to configure ISL encapsulation on the
subinterface. Perform the steps in the following task in the order in which they appear:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. vines routing [address]
4. interface type slot/port.subinterface-number
5. encapsulation isl vlan-identifier
6. vines metric [whole [fraction]]
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
enable
Example:
Router> enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
• Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2
configure terminal
Example:
Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3
vines routing [address]
Example:
Router(config)# vines routing
Enables Banyan VINES routing globally.
Step 4
interface type slot/port.subinterface-number
Example:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 1/0.1
Specifies the subinterface on which ISL will be used.
Step 5
encapsulation isl vlan-identifier
Example:
Router(config-if)# encapsulation isl 200
Defines the encapsulation format as ISL (isl), and specifies
the VLAN identifier.
Step 6
vines metric [whole [fraction]]
Example:
Router(config-if)#vines metric 2
Enables VINES routing metric on an interface.
