Module 4 Flashcards
What is the main objective of the module on Inter-VLAN Routing?
Troubleshoot inter-VLAN routing on Layer 3 devices.
What are the three options for inter-VLAN routing?
- Legacy Inter-VLAN routing
- Router-on-a-Stick
- Layer 3 switch using switched virtual interfaces (SVIs)
What is required for Router-on-a-Stick inter-VLAN routing?
Create a subinterface for each VLAN to be routed.
What command is used to create a subinterface in Router-on-a-Stick configuration?
interface interface_id.subinterface_id
What does the command ‘encapsulation dot1q vlan_id’ do?
Configures the subinterface to respond to 802.1Q encapsulated traffic from the specified VLAN.
What command assigns an IP address to a subinterface in Router-on-a-Stick?
ip address ip-address subnet-mask
What must be done after creating all subinterfaces in Router-on-a-Stick?
Enable the physical interface using the ‘no shutdown’ command.
How do you verify connectivity between two hosts in different VLANs?
Use the ‘ping’ command.
List the commands used to verify and troubleshoot Router-on-a-Stick configuration.
- show ip route
- show ip interface brief
- show interfaces
- show interfaces trunk
What are the advantages of using Layer 3 switches for inter-VLAN routing?
- Faster processing rates
- No need for external links to a router
- Not limited to one link due to EtherChannels
- Lower latency
- Commonly deployed in campus LANs
What is an SVI?
A switched virtual interface configured on a Layer 3 switch.
What command is used to enable IP routing on a Layer 3 switch?
ip routing
What is the limitation of the legacy inter-VLAN routing method?
Not reasonably scalable due to the limited number of physical interfaces on routers.
Is the router-on-a-stick method scalable beyond 50 VLANs?
False.
What is the first step in configuring a Layer 3 switch for inter-VLAN routing?
Create the VLANs.
Fill in the blank: The router-on-a-stick method requires a ______ for each VLAN to be routed.
subinterface
