32. Layer 3 Switching
ROX™ v2.2 User Guide 359 RuggedBackbone™ RX1500
32.1.9. Sample Use Case
Consider the network illustrated below. The switch connecting all of these networks is a
RuggedBackbone™ Layer 3 switch.
Figure 32.2. Layer 3 Switch Use Case
Assume the following:
VLAN 150 and VLAN 250 have approximately 200 devices each.
VLAN 300 is a server farm with RuggedNMS and some other servers polling these devices on a
near-constant basis. The IP address for Server 1 is 172.30.30.10. The IP address for Server 2 is
172.30.30.20
VLAN 400 connects the Layer 3 switch to an external network via a gateway with the IP address
172.30.40.2.
Devices and servers in VLAN 150, 250 and 300 should only be able to reach 2 networks
10.200.50.0/24 and 10.200.60.0/24 – for management purposes.
The 400 devices in VLAN 150 and VLAN 250 receive IP multicast data from the external network
(VLAN 400) at the address 227.100.20.100.
Servers in VLAN 300 receive IP multicast data from the external network (VLAN 400) at the address
227.100.250.250.
No firewall is used in this use case.
Assume all Layer 2 switching-related configuration has been done; that is, the VLANs have been
created with proper port assignment. In this example, no specific Layer 3 switch configuration is explicitly
required. As long as a software router configuration is sufficient for the above requirements, the Layer
3 Switch will be able to function through auto-learning switching rules. However, the Layer 3 switching
configuration described in the following sections is recommended for better utilization of CPU and Layer
3 switching ASIC resources:
Section 32.1.9.1, “Setting up Unicast Routes”
Section 32.1.9.2, “Setting up Multicast Routing”
Section 32.1.9.3, “Configuring Static Layer 3 Switching Rules for Servers”
Section 32.1.9.4, “Configuring Static ARP Table Entries for Servers”
Section 32.1.9.5, “Layer 3 Switching Rules for Devices in VLANs 150 and 250”
