Connecting VLANs with the Catalyst 3750-E or 3560-E Switch
When the IP services feature set is running on the switch or the stack master, the switch uses two
methods to forward traffic between interfaces: routing and fallback bridging. If the IP base feature set is
on the switch or the stack master, only basic routing (static routing and RIP) is supported. Whenever
possible, to maintain high performance, forwarding is done by the switch hardware. However, only IPv4
packets with Ethernet II encapsulation are routed in hardware. Non-IP traffic and traffic with other
encapsulation methods are fallback-bridged by hardware.
•
The routing function can be enabled on all SVIs and routed ports. The switch routes only IP traffic.
When IP routing protocol parameters and address configuration are added to an SVI or routed port,
any IP traffic received from these ports is routed. For more information, see
“Configuring IP Unicast Routing,”
Chapter 46, “Configuring IP Multicast Routing,”
and
Chapter 47, “Configuring MSDP.”
•
Fallback bridging forwards traffic that the switch does not route or traffic belonging to a nonroutable
protocol, such as DECnet. Fallback bridging connects multiple VLANs into one bridge domain by
bridging between two or more SVIs or routed ports. When configuring fallback bridging, you assign
SVIs or routed ports to bridge groups with each SVI or routed port assigned to only one bridge
group. All interfaces in the same group belong to the same bridge domain. For more information,
see
Chapter 48, “Configuring Fallback Bridging.”
Using Interface Configuration Mode
The switch supports these interface types:
•
Physical ports—switch ports and routed ports
•
VLANs—switch virtual interfaces
•
Port channels—EtherChannel interfaces
You can also configure a range of interfaces (see the
“Configuring a Range of Interfaces” section on
).
To configure a physical interface (port), specify the interface type, stack member number (only
Catalyst 3750-E switches), module number, and switch port number, and enter interface configuration mode.
•
Type—Gigabit Ethernet (gigabitethernet or gi) for 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports, 10-Gigabit
Ethernet (tengigabitethernet or te) for 10,000 Mb/s, or small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (gigabitethernet or gi).
