Routing between VLANs using virtual routing interfaces (Layer 3 Switches only)
10
PowerConnect-A(config-ospf-router)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_1.1.2.0/24
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-2)# untag e 1 to 4
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-2)# no spanning-tree
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-2)# other-proto name block_other_protocols
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# no dynamic
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# exclude e 1 to 4
Once you have defined the port-based VLAN and created the virtual routing interface, you need to
configure the virtual routing interface just as you would configure a physical interface.
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# interface ve1
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-1)# ip address 1.1.2.1/24
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-1)# ip ospf area 0.0.0.0
Do the same thing for VLAN 8.
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-1)# vlan 8 name IPX_Network2
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-8)# untag ethernet 5 to 8
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-8)# no spanning-tree
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-8)# router-interface ve 2
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-8)# other-proto name block-other-protocols
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# no dynamic
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# exclude ethernet 5 to 8
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# int ve2
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-2)# ipx network 2 ethernet_802.3
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-2)#
The next thing you need to do is create VLAN 3. This is very similar to the previous example with the
addition of virtual routing interfaces to the IP subnet and IPX network VLANs. Also there is no need
to exclude ports from the IP subnet and IPX network VLANs on the router.
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-2)# vlan 3 name IP_Sub_&_IPX_Net_VLAN
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-3)# untag e 9 to 16
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-3)# no spanning-tree
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-3)# ip-subnet 1.1.1.0/24
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-ip-subnet)# static e 9 to 12
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-ip-subnet)# router-interface ve3
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-ip-subnet)# ipx-network 1 ethernet_802.3
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-ipx-network)# static e 13 to 16
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-ipx-network)# router-interface ve4
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-ipx-network)# other-proto name block-other-protocols
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# exclude e 9 to 16
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# no dynamic
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# interface ve 3
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-3)# ip addr 1.1.1.1/24
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-3)# ip ospf area 0.0.0.0
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-3)# int ve4
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-4)# ipx network 1 ethernet_802.3
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-4)#
Now configure VLAN 4. Remember this is a flat segment that, in the previous example, obtained its
IP default gateway and IPX router services from an external device. In this example, device-A will
provide the routing services for VLAN 4. You also want to configure the STP priority for VLAN 4 to
make device-A the root bridge for this VLAN.
PowerConnect-A(config-vif-4)# vlan 4 name Bridged_ALL_Protocols
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-4)# untag ethernet 17 to 24
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-4)# tag ethernet 25 to 26
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-4)# spanning-tree
PowerConnect-A(config-vlan-4)# spanning-tree priority 500
