Routing Overview

All P580 and P882 Multiservice switches can be configured as an IP, IPX, and AppleTalk router with virtual interfaces. Virtual interfaces are mapped to physical ports or VLANs. Layer 3 IP traffic is routed between the virtual interfaces.

Ports become members of VLANs by being assigned or by rules. Multiple VLANs can share a single trunk port. In contrast, multiple physical ports can be associated with a single VLAN. In all cases, traffic that arrives and leaves the same VLAN is bridged, not routed.
