Configuring the same IP subnet address on multiple port-based VLANs

Configuring the same IP subnet address on
multiple port-based VLANs
For a Dell PowerConnect device to route between port-based VLANs, you must add a virtual routing
interface to each VLAN. Generally, you also configure a unique IP subnet address on each virtual
routing interface. For example, if you have three port-based VLANs, you add a virtual routing
interface to each VLAN, then add a separate IP subnet address to each virtual routing interface.
The IP address on each of the virtual routing interfaces must be in a separate subnet. The Dell
PowerConnect device routes Layer 3 traffic between the subnets using the subnet addresses.
NOTE
This feature applies only to Layer 3 Switches.
NOTE
Before using the method described in this section, refer to “Configuring VLAN groups and virtual
routing interface groups” on page 472. You might be able to achieve the results you want using the
methods in that section instead.
Figure 99 shows an example of this type of configuration.
FIGURE 99 Multiple port-based VLANs with separate protocol addresses
As shown in this example, each VLAN has a separate IP subnet address. If you need to conserve IP
subnet addresses, you can configure multiple VLANs with the same IP subnet address, as shown in
Figure 100.
