Overview

Readers will learn how to configure Inter-VLAN routing on an EdgeSwitch through the use of Switch Virtual Interfaces (SVI).

Configuring Inter-VLAN Routing

Back to Top

Inter-VLAN routing will allow the VLAN10 and VLAN20 networks to communicate with each other through the switch. It is also possible to set up Inter-VLAN routing on an EdgeRouter, see the Router on a Stick article for more information.

The UAP-AC-Pro will tag the wireless network with VLAN20. The management traffic from the UAP is sent untagged and will be placed in VLAN10.

1. Enter privileged mode.

enable

2. Create the VLANs and VLAN-Interfaces (SVIs).

vlan database 
 vlan 10,20
 vlan routing 10
 vlan routing 20
 exit

3. Enter configuration mode.

configure

4. Assign the ports to the VLANs created above.

interface 0/2
 description controller
 vlan pvid 10
 vlan participation exclude 1,20
 vlan participation include 10
 exit

interface 0/6
 description uap
 vlan tagging 20
 vlan pvid 10
 vlan participation exclude 1
 vlan participation include 10,20
 exit

5. Enable routing functionality on the uplink port (0/8) and assign it an IP address.

interface 0/8
 description edgerouter
 routing
 ip address 10.255.12.2 255.255.255.252
 exit

6. Associate the VLAN10 and VLAN20 SVIs with IP addresses and enable routing.

interface vlan 10
 ip address 10.0.10.2 255.255.255.0
 routing 
 exit
 
interface vlan 20
 ip address 10.0.20.2 255.255.255.0
 routing
 exit

7. Globally enable the routing functionality and create a default route to the EdgeRouter.

ip routing
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.255.12.1 

8. Exit back to privileged mode and write the changes to the startup configuration.

exit
write memory
