Configure VLAN routing
You can configure the switch with some ports supporting VLANs and some ports supporting
routing. You can also configure the switch to allow traffic on a VLAN to be treated as if the
VLAN were a router port.
When a port is enabled for bridging (the default setting) rather than routing, all normal bridge
processing is performed for an inbound packet, which is then associated with a VLAN. Its
MAC destination address (MAC DA) and VLAN ID are used to search the MAC address
table. If routing is enabled for the VLAN, and the MAC DA of an inbound unicast packet is
that of the internal bridge-router interface, the packet is routed.
An inbound multicast packet
is forwarded to all ports in the VLAN. If a routed VLAN receives the multicast packet, the
packet is also forwarded on the internal bridge-router interface.
Because you can configure a port to belong to more than one VLAN, VLAN routing might be
enabled for all of the VLANs on the port, or for a subset.
You can use VLAN routing to allow
more than one physical port to reside on the same subnet. You can also use VLAN routing if
a VLAN spans multiple physical networks, or if you require additional segmentation or
security. A port can either be a VLAN port or a router port, but not both. However, a VLAN
port can be part of a VLAN that is itself a router port.
Create a routing interface with the VLAN Static Routing
Wizard
The VLAN Static Routing Wizard lets you create a VLAN routing interface, configure the IP
address and subnet mask for the interface, and add ports, LAGs, or both to the VLAN. With
this wizard, you can do the following:
• Create a VLAN.
• Add ports to the newly created VLAN and remove selected ports from the default VLAN.
• Optionally
, create a LAG, add ports to the LAG, then add the LAG to the newly created
VLAN.
• Enable tagging on selected ports if the port is in another VLAN. Disable tagging if a
selected port does not exist in another VLAN.
• Enable routing on the VLAN using the IP address and subnet mask entered.
To use the VLAN Static Routing Wizard:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is of
f-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser
, enter the IP address of the switch.
