4.
Host A obtains Device's MAC address.
5.
Host A sends a packet whose destination MAC address is the MAC address of the
VLANIF interface and destination IP address is host C's IP address to Device.
6.
After receiving the packet, Device forwards the packet and detects that the route to
host C is a direct route. The packet is forwarded by VLANIF3.
7.
Functioning as the gateway of hosts in VLAN3, Device broadcasts an ARP packet
requesting host C's MAC address.
8.
After receiving the packet, host C returns an ARP reply packet.
9.
After receiving the reply packet, DeviceA sends the packet from host A to host C. All
packets sent from host A to host C are sent to Device first to implement Layer 3
forwarding.
3.2.4 VLAN Aggregation
Background of VLAN Aggregation
NOTE
AR550 series do not support VLAN Aggregation.
VLAN is widely applied to switching networks because of its flexible control of broadcast
domains and convenient deployment. On a Router, the interconnection between the broadcast
domains is implemented using one VLAN to correspond to one Layer-3 logic interface.
However, this can waste IP addresses.
