Chapter 6 - Inter-VLAN Routing Flashcards
_____ are used to carry information from multiple VLANs between devices.
Trunks
_____ is the Layer 3 process of determining where to send data packets that are destined for addresses outside of the local network.
Routing
Layer 2 switches, such as the Catalyst 2960 Series, can be configured by a network professional with over _____ VLANs.
4,000
A VLAN is a _____ domain, so computers on separate VLANs are unable to communicate without the intervention of a routing device.
broadcast
The process of forwarding network traffic from one VLAN to another VLAN using routing is known as _____-_____ _____.
inter-VLAN routing
Historically, the first solution for inter-VLAN routing relied on routers with multiple _____ _____.
physical interfaces
‘_____-_____-_____-_____’ is a type of router configuration in which a single physical interface routes traffic between multiple VLANs on a network.
Router-on-a-stick
When dealing with a Router-on-a-stick configuration, the router interface is configured to operate as a _____ link and is connected to a switch port that is configured in _____ mode. The router performs inter-VLAN routing by accepting VLAN-tagged traffic on the _____ interface coming from the adjacent switch, and then internally routing between the VLANs using subinterfaces. The router then forwards the routed traffic, VLAN-tagged for the destination VLAN, out the same physical interface as it used to receive the traffic.
trunk
_____ are software-based virtual interfaces, associated with a single physical interface.
Subinterfaces
Subinterfaces are configured in _____ on a router and each subinterface is independently configured with an IP address and VLAN assignment.
software
Subinterfaces are configured for different _____ corresponding to their VLAN assignment to facilitate logical routing. After a routing decision is made based on the destination VLAN, the data frames are VLAN-tagged and sent back out the physical interface.
subnets
The router-on-a-stick method of inter-VLAN routing does not scale beyond _____ VLANs.
50
_____ _____ can perform Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions, replacing the need for dedicated routers to perform basic routing on a network. _____ _____ support dynamic routing and inter-VLAN routing.
Multilayer switches
To enable a multilayer switch to perform routing functions, the multilayer switch must have _____ _____ enabled.
IP routing
Multilayer switching is more _____ than any other inter-VLAN routing implementation. This is because routers have a limited number of available ports to connect to networks. Additionally, for interfaces that are configured as a trunk line, limited amounts of traffic can be accommodated on that line at one time.
scalable
A multilayer switch does not, however, completely replace the _____ of a router. Routers support a significant number of additional features, such as the ability to implement greater security controls.
functionality
The 2960 switch supports up to _____ static routes (including user-configured routes and the default route) and any directly connected routes and default routes for the management interface.
16
The 2960 switch can have an IP address assigned to each _____ _____ _____.
switch virtual interface (SVI)
To enable the routing functionality on the 2960 switch, the _____ _____ _____-_____ global configuration command must be entered and the router must be reloaded.
sdm prefer lanbase-routing
Legacy inter-VLAN routing requires routers to have multiple _____ _____. The router accomplishes the routing by having each of its _____ _____ connected to a unique VLAN.
physical interfaces
When the source device has determined that the packet must travel through the local router interface on the connected VLAN, the source device sends out an _____ _____ to determine the MAC address of the local router interface. When the router sends its _____ _____ back to the source device, the source device can use the MAC address to finish framing the packet before it sends it out on the network as unicast traffic.
ARP request, ARP reply
If the router determines that the destination network is a locally connected network, as is the case with inter-VLAN routing, the router sends an ARP request out the interface physically connected to the _____ _____. The destination device responds back to the router with its MAC address, which the router then uses to frame the packet. The router then sends the unicast traffic to the switch, which forwards it out the port where the destination device is connected.
destination VLAN
Use the _____ _____ global configuration mode command to create VLANs.
