Cisco SWITCH 1.0: Inter-VLAN Routing

Overview/Description
When a network architect hands off a design to you, switches at the distribution layer, or in a collapsed core, will almost certainly have multiple VLANs connected to them. A switch with multiple VLANs requires a means of passing Layer 3 traffic between those VLANs. As an administrator, you must understand the process and the various methods of routing traffic from VLAN to VLAN such as using an external router or a multilayer switch. It is also important to understand how to configure features such as DHCP services and Layer 3 Etherchannel. This course covers how to perform inter-VLAN packet transfer using an external router. It discusses the process that a multilayer switch uses to forward frames and packets. In addition, the course describes the configuration of multilayer switching, routed interfaces, DHCP services, and Layer 3 EtherChannels.
