Using Layer 3 Routing

2 Network Planning

Using Layer 3 Routing

VLANs can significantly enhance network performance and security. However, if you use conventional routers to interconnect VLANs, you can lose most of your performance advantage. The ES3628EA provides wire-speed routing, which allows you to eliminate your conventional IP routers, except for a router to handle non-IP protocols and a gateway router linked to the WAN. Just assign an IP address to any VLANs that need to communicate. The switch will continue to segregate Layer 2 traffic based on VLANs, but will now provide inter-VLAN connections for IP applications. This switch will perform IP routing for specified VLAN groups, a directly connected subnetwork, a remote IP subnetwork or host address, a subnetwork broadcast address, a switch IP address on a specific IP subnetwork, or an IP multicast address.
