GS700TR Smart Switch Software Administration Manual
4-8 Configuring Routing
v1.0, May, 2008
Since a port can be configured to belong to more than one VLAN, VLAN routing might be
enabled for all of the VLANs on the port, or for a subset. VLAN Routing can be used to allow
more than one physical port to reside on the same subnet. It could also be used when a VLAN
spans multiple physical networks, or when additional segmentation or security is required. This
section shows how to configure GS700TR Smart Switch software to support VLAN routing. A
port can be either a VLAN port or a router port, but not both. However, a VLAN port may be part
of a VLAN that is itself a router port.
VLAN Routing Configuration
Use the VLAN Routing Configuration page to view information about the VLAN routing
interfaces configured on the system or to assign an IP address and subnet mask to VLANs on the
system.
To display the page:
1. Click the Routing > VLAN tab.
