| Today's campus networks have moved
quickly to incorporate switching technologies for improving
bandwidth. Multilayer switching (MLS) is an important emerging
technology that combines the best of switching and routing, bringing
new levels of performance and scalability to campus networks. In the
light of changing traffic patterns and increasing loads being placed
on the networks to access centralized resources and server farms, it
becomes imperative for the platforms used in the campus design to
provide appropriate Layer 3 performance.
This chapter, includes the following
topics:
- Multilayer Switching Fundamentals
- Configuring Multilayer Switch
Route Processor
- Applying Flow Masks
- Configuring the Multilayer
Switching
- MLS Switch Engine
- MLS Topology Examples
