All P580 and P882 Multiservice switches can be configured as an IP, IPX,
and AppleTalk router with virtual interfaces. Virtual interfaces are mapped
to physical ports or VLANs. Layer 3 IP traffic is routed between the virtual
interfaces.
Ports become members of VLANs by being assigned or by rules. Multiple
VLANs can share a single trunk port. In contrast, multiple physical ports
can be associated with a single VLAN. In all cases, traffic that arrives and
leaves the same VLAN is bridged, not routed.
This section provides the following sections:
Compatibility with Layer 2 Modules
Routing with Layer 2 and Layer 3 Modules
Each switch is completely backward compatible with all of the layer 2
media modules that the switch currently supports. Layer 3 traffic is routed
by sending that traffic to the supervisor module. The supervisor module
routes all traffic from layer 2 media modules as described in the next
section, "Routing with Layer 2 and Layer 3
