Configure VLAN routing

You can configure the switch with some ports supporting VLANs and some ports supporting
routing. You can also configure the switch to allow traffic on a VLAN to be treated as if the
VLAN were a router port.
When a port 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. If a routed VLAN receives the multicast packet, the
packet is also forwarded on the internal bridge-router interface.
Because you can configure a port to belong to more than one VLAN, VLAN routing might be
enabled for all of the VLANs on the port, or for a subset. You can use VLAN routing to allow
more than one physical port to reside on the same subnet. You can also use VLAN routing if
a VLAN spans multiple physical networks, or if you require additional segmentation or
security. A port can either be a VLAN port or a router port, but not both. However, a VLAN
port can be part of a VLAN that is itself a router port.
