Routing example – page 5
Now that the 8212zl switch has a direct route for the 10.1.30.0 network, the switch
checks its forwarding table to see if it has an entry for the destination IP address or
uses ARP to discover the MAC address.
Because the destination network (10.1.30.0/24) is connected to one of the 8212zl
switch ports, the 8212zl switch first checks its forwarding table to see if it has an
entry for the destination address. If not, the 8212zl switch uses ARP to discover the
MAC address for the destination IP address.
The 8212zl switch creates a new Ethernet header for the IP packet, using the
database server’s MAC address as the destination address.
The 8212zl switch forwards the frame to the next hop—the 6600 switch.
