3.2 Layer 3 interface
3.2.1 Introduction
The Layer 3 interface refers to IP interface, and it is the virtual interface based on VLAN.
Configuring Layer 3 interface is generally used for device network management or routing
link connection of multiple devices. Associating a Layer 3 interface to VLAN requires
configuring IP address; each Layer 3 interface will correspond to an IP address and associate
with at least one VLAN.
If only one IP address is configured on Layer 3 interface of the A10E/A28E, only part of hosts
can communicate with external networks through the switch. To enable all hosts to
communicate with external networks, configure the secondary IP address of the interface. To
enable hosts in two network segments to interconnect with each other, set the switch as
gateway on all hosts.
3.2.2 Preparing for configurations
Scenario
You can connect a Layer 3 interface for VLAN when configuring IP address for it. Each Layer
3 interface will correspond to an IP address and connect a VLAN.
Prerequisite
Configure VLAN associated with interface and activate it before configuring Layer 3
interface.
3.2.3 Configuring the Layer 3 interface
Configure the A10E/A28E as below.
