Classifying Bridged Traffic as Layer 3
In some network configurations you may want to force the switch to classify bridged traffic as routed
(Layer 3) traffic. Typically this option is used for QoS filtering. See Chapter 31, “Configuring ACLs,” for
more information about filtering.
The Layer 3 classification of bridged traffic is no different from the classification of normal Layer 3 routed
traffic. Note that this implementation of QoS always performs Layer 3 classification of bridged traffic; it is
not an option. As a result,
• Layer 3 ACLs are always effected on bridged traffic.
• The switch may bridge and route traffic to the same destination.
• Bridged IP packets are prioritized based on ToS, not 802.1p.
Note that Layer 3 ACLs are effected on bridged IP traffic and Layer 2 ACLs are effected on routed traffic.
