Configuring Routing Interfaces

This chapter describes the routing (layer 3) interfaces the PowerConnect

M6220, M6348, M8024, and M8024-k switches support, which includes

VLAN routing interfaces, loopback interfaces, and tunnel interfaces.

The topics covered in this chapter are:

For information about configuring IPv6 characteristics on routing interfaces,

see "Configuring IPv6 Routing" on page 1057.

For configuration examples that configure VLAN routing interfaces, see "IP

Routing Configuration Example" on page 916 in the Configuring IP Routing

chapter. For a configuration example that includes tunnel and loopback

interface creation, see "Interconnecting an IPv4 Backbone and Local IPv6

Network" on page 1012.

Routing Interface Overview

Routing interfaces are logical interfaces that can be configured with an IP

address. Routing interfaces provide a means of transmitting IP packets

between subnets on the network.

VLANs divide a single physical network (broadcast domain) into separate

logical networks. To forward traffic across VLAN boundaries, a layer 3 device,

such as router, is required. PowerConnect M6220, M6348, M8024, and

M8024-k switches can act as layer 3 devices when you configure VLAN

routing interfaces. VLAN routing interfaces make it possible to transmit
