What is inter-VLAN routing in Dell EMC?
Inter-VLAN routing is process of passing traffic between two different VLANS. Since traffic here is routed and not switched broadcast traffic will not be forwarded between VLANS. L3 interface is a logical interface with the VLAN ID. ( Figure 7 (English Only)) displays the configuration of L3 interface for VLAN 10.
Where does the VLAN tag go on a Dell switch?
The port is configured as access port which implies that when the traffic is sent out of the port to the workstation the switch will remove the VLAN tag and when traffic is sent from the workstation to the switch the port will insert the VLAN tag of 10. Layer 3 (L3) switches are capable of doing routing.
How to inter VLAN routing with multiple VLANs?
RE: Inter VLAN routing with multiple VLANs. For VLAN routing to work the VLAN interfaces need to have an IP Address, and the command ip routing needs to be run on the switch. Clients connecting to access ports will need to have an IP Address within the VLAN subnet, and have the VLAN IP Address as the default gateway.
What happens if a VLAN is not present in switch B?
If a VLAN is present in switch A and not present in switch B, switch B will drop the traffic for that particular VLAN causing a black hole of traffic. Some PowerConnect switches require the command “ip routing” under the layer 3 interface in order to enable routing on the VLAN interface.
What’s the default VLAN for a Dell switch?
By default, the switch has a single broadcast domain as all ports are assigned to the default VLAN, VLAN 1. By default all the ports are assigned to VLAN 1 (represented in blue). Therefore all types of traffic from PC-1 will reach PC-2.
What are the ports on a VLAN 10 switch?
Ports 1 – 10 are assigned to VLAN 10, and ports 11 – 20 are assigned to VLAN 20. A computer in VLAN 10 is infected with a virus and is sending broadcast traffic impacting the performance of the network.
Why is VLAN 10 not forwarded to VLAN 20?
A computer in VLAN 10 is infected with a virus and is sending broadcast traffic impacting the performance of the network. Since we have configured the VLANs the broadcast traffic will only be flooded to devices in VLAN 10 and will not be forwarded to devices in VLAN 20.
