Routing VLANs

You can configure some interfaces to support VLANs and other interfaces to support
routing. You can also configure a VLAN to function as if it were a routing interface.

When an interface 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, plus the
internal bridge-router interface, if it was received on a routed VLAN.

Because an interface can belong to more than one VLAN, VLAN routing might be
enabled for all of the VLANs on the interface, or for a subset. VLAN routing can be used
to allow more than one physical port to reside on the same subnet. It could also be used
when a VLAN spans multiple physical networks, or when additional segmentation or
security is required.

An interface can be either a VLAN interface or a routing interface, but not both. However,
a VLAN interface can be part of a VLAN that functions as a routing interface.

Create a routing VLAN with the VLAN static
routing wizard

The VLAN static routing wizard lets you create a VLAN and add interfaces to the VLAN.
The VLAN static routing wizard also lets you add selected interfaces as a link aggregation
group (LAG). With the wizard, you can do the following:

Create a VLAN and generate a unique name for VLAN.

Add selected interfaces to the newly created VLAN or remove selected interfaces
from the default VLAN.

Add selected interfaces to a LAG and add the LAG to a newly created VLAN.

Enable tagging on selected interfaces if the interface is a member of another VLAN.
Or, disable tagging if the selected interface is not a member of another VLAN.
