Summary
Now that you have completed this chapter, you should a have a firm understanding of the following concepts:
  • InterVlan routing is a requirement to enable communication between devices in separate VLANs.
  • Most devices are configured with the IP address of a default router to which all non-local network packets are sent.
  • The Inter-Switch Link (ISL) protocol is used to facilitate multiple VLAN traffic over a single link.
  • The distribution layer routing processor can be an internal or external router/switch topology.
