8-Port or 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch Model GS418TPP, GS510TLP, and GS510TPP
is forwarded to all ports in the VLAN, plus the internal bridge-router interface, if it was
received on a routed VLAN.
Since a port can be configured to belong to more than one VLAN, VLAN routing might be
enabled for all of the VLANs on the port, 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. A port can be either 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.
Complete these steps to configure a switch to perform interVLAN routing:
1. Use the IP Configuration page to enable routing on the switch.
For more information about this step, see Configure the router settings on page 220.
2. Determine the IP addresses that you want to assign to the VLAN interface on the switch.
For the switch to be able to route between the VLANs, the VLAN interfaces must be
configured with an IP address. When the switch receives a packet destined for another
subnet/VLAN, the switch looks at the routing table to determine where to forward the
packet. The packet is then passed to the VLAN interface of the destination. It is then sent
to the port where the end device is attached.
3. Use the VLAN Routing Wizard page to create a routing VLAN, configure the IP address and
subnet mask, and add the member ports.
For more information about this step, see Create a routing interface with the VLAN Static
Routing Wizard on page 241.
In the following figure, VLAN 300 is created with IP address 10.1.2.1 and subnet mask
255.255.255.0. Port r1 is a member port. (For more information about this page, see
Manage a VLAN routing interface on page 243.)
