Layer 3 Switching

The Rapier switch provides Layer 3 switching and routing over VLANs. Once a VLAN has been created (see “Virtual LANs” on page 35), the VLAN name can be used wherever a logical interface is required in commands for configuring routing protocols.

VLAN names are of the form:

VLAN-vlanname

or

VLANn

where vlanname is the manager-assigned name of the VLAN, and n is the VLAN identifier (VID).

For example, if a VLAN is created using the command:

CREATE VLAN=admin VID=11

then the following names can be used to identify the VLAN in routing commands:

vlan-admin

vlan11

The following sections illustrate the use of VLANs for IP, RIP, IPX, AppleTalk and RSVP. For a complete description of all the protocols supported by the switch, see the Rapier Switch Software Reference.

Internet Protocol (IP)

The switch performs IP routing at wire speed between VLANs. To add the admin VLAN as an IP interface, use either of the following commands:

ADD IP INTERFACE=vlan-admin

ADD IP INTERFACE=vlan11

The command:

SHOW IP INTERFACE

displays the interfaces enabled for IP routing (Figure 18 on page 62).
