Direct routes
Layer 3 switches and routers learn direct routes through their interfaces.
Path determination enables a router to compare the destination address to the
available routes in its routing table, and to select the best path.
For example, in this network the 8212zl switch has been assigned the IP address
10 .1.10 .1 / 24 f o r V L A N 10 .
IP routing is enabled on the 8212zl switch, allowing it to function as a Layer 3 switch.
If an 8212zl interface that is associated with VLAN 10 is connected to the 5400zl
switch (which also supports the 10.1.10.0 network), the 8212zl switch immediately has
a direct route for this network.
