1. Determine how the network would be best segmented. This
is probably done using VLANs in an existing layer 2 switched
network.
2. Develop an IP addressing scheme. This involves allocating
a block of IP addresses to each network segment. Each
network subnet is then assigned a network address and a
subnet mask.
3. Determine which network resources must be shared by the
subnets. Shared resources may be connected directly to the
Layer 3 switch, if need be. Static routes to each of the
shared resources should be determined.
4. Determine how each subnet will communicate with the WAN
or Internet. Again, static routes should be determined and
default gateways identified.
5. Develop a security scheme. Some subnets on the network
need more security or should be isolated from the other
subnets. IP or MAC filtering can be used. Also, one or more
VLANs on the Layer 3 switch can be configured without an
IP subnet – in which case, these VLANs will function as a
layer 2 VLAN and would require an external router to
connect to the rest of the network.
6. Develop a policy scheme. Some subnets will have a greater
need for multicasting bandwidth, for example. A policy is a
mechanism to alter the normal packet forwarding in a
network device, and can be used to intelligently allocate
bandwidth to time-critical applications such as the integration
of voice, video, and data on the network.
7. Develop a redundancy scheme. Planning redundant links
and routes to critical network resources can save valuable
time in the case of a link or device failure. The VH-2402-
L3’s Spanning Tree function can be used to block the
redundant link until it is needed.
VLAN Layout
VLANs on the VH-2402-L3 have more functions than on a
traditional layer 2 switch, and must therefore be laid-out and
