Routing between VLANs using virtual routing interfaces (Layer 3 Switches only)
13
This completes the configuration for device-A. The configuration for device-B and C is very similar
except for a few issues which are as follows:
• IP subnets and IPX networks configured on device-B and device-C must be unique across the
entire network, except for the backbone port-based VLANs 5, 6, and 7 where the subnet is the
same but the IP address must change.
• There is no need to change the default priority of STP within VLAN 4.
• There is no need to include a virtual router interface within VLAN 4.
• The backbone VLAN between device-B and device-C must be the same at both ends and
requires a new VLAN ID. The VLAN ID for this port-based VLAN is VLAN 7.
Configuration for device-B
Enter the following commands to configure device-B.
