Configure VLAN Routing

You can configure the switch with some ports supporting VLANs and some 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) 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 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. This section shows how to configure the switch to support VLAN routing.
From the Routing > VLAN menu, you can access pages that are described in the following

The VLAN Routing Wizard lets you create a VLAN routing interface, configure the IP address
and subnet mask for the interface, and add ports or LAGs to the VLAN. With this wizard, you
can do the following:
• Create a VLAN.
• Add ports to a newly created VLAN.
• Remove selected ports from the default VLAN.
• Enable tagging on a selected port if the port is in another VLAN. Disable tagging if the
selected port does not exist in another VLAN.
• Add LAGs to a newly created VLAN.
• Remove selected LAGs from the default VLAN.
• Enable tagging on a selected LAG if the LAG is in another VLAN. Disable tagging if the
selected LAG does not exist in another VLAN.
• Enable routing on the VLAN using the IP address and subnet mask entered.
