6.1
How are V ANs and su!nets related" Each VLAN is associated with a different subnet, so each VLAN has its own group of IP addresses. How do hosts on one V AN #o$$uni#ate with hosts on another V AN" The packets have to be routed from one VLAN subnet! to another b" using a router or a mu#ti#a"er switch!. %n traditional inter&V AN routin'( how is the swit#h lin)ed to the router" There is a separate #ink, switch port and router port for each VLAN. The switch ports connected to the router are in access mode, not trunk mode. *hat is +router on a sti#), inter&V AN routin'" There is one trunked #ink connecting the router to the switch, so that a## the VLANs use the same ph"sica# router port. Can all routers $a)e a trun)ed lin) to a swit#h" Not a##. It depends on the router I$%. Ea#h V AN is a separate su!net( so ea#h V AN will need a di--erent %. address on the router. How #an all the V ANs share one inter-a#e" %evera# sub interfaces, one for each VLAN, are configured on one ph"sica# interface, and each sub interface is given a different IP address. Suppose that a .C is on V AN /. *hat de-ault 'ateway should !e #on-i'ured on the .C" The address of the router interface connected to that VLAN, if traditiona# inter& VLAN routing is used, or the address of the router sub interface assigned to that VLAN if router on a stick is used. *hat is the V AN nu$!er i- a router su! inter-a#e is #on-i'ured as -ollows" R1(config)#int -010./ R1(config-subif)#en#apsulation dot1q /0 R1(config-subif)#ip address 12/.12./.1 /33./33./33.0 R1(config-subif)#end The VLAN number is '(

4o you need to use the no shutdown #o$$and when #on-i'urin' a router su! inter-a#e" No. The no shutdown command goes on the ph"sica# interface, not on the sub interface. *hat are the ad5anta'es and disad5anta'es o- usin' +router on a sti#), rather than traditional inter&V AN routin'" )sing a sing#e trunk #ink a##ows more VLANs to be added without the need for e*tra ph"sica# interfaces. It is cheaper to use a sing#e trunk #ink, because routers with man" interfaces are e*pensive. The ph"sica# cab#ing is simp#er. %ubinterfaces share the interface bandwidth and this might create a bott#eneck. Not a## routers are ab#e to have subinterfaces configured for VLANs. The configuration for a trunk #ink is a bit more comp#icated than configuring separate interfaces.

4o you need to #on-i'ure a routin' proto#ol on a router that is used -or inter&V AN routin'" No. If a## the VLANs are direct#" connected then it wi## not need a routing protoco# to route between them. +irect#" connected networks go into the routing tab#e automatica##". A routing protoco# wi## on#" be needed if more than one router is invo#ved. *hen inter&V AN routin' is used( how are the swit#hports that lin) to the router #on-i'ured" If traditiona# inter&VLAN routing is used, with a separate #ink for each VLAN, then the switch port is in access mode and assigned to the appropriate VLAN. If ,router on a stick- is used, then the switch port is configured for trunking. *hi#h show #o$$and produ#es this type o- output"
