  10. #save config 
  11. #reboot 

Layer 3 Configuration - InternalNet and ExternalNet

Enter Configuration Mode 

  1. #enable
  2. #configure terminal

Set A Virtual Gateway for Access Ports 

  1. Create VLAN for Internal Network
    #create vlan "InternalNet" tag xx
  2. Configure IP Address for Internal Network
    #configure vlan "InternalNet" ipaddress x.x.x.x/x
  3. Enable IP forwarding for Internal Network
    enable ipforwarding vlan “InternalNet” 
  4. Assign Ports to Internal Network VLAN
    configure vlan "InternalNet" add ports 1-15 untagged 
  1. Create VLAN for External Network
    #create vlan “ExternalNet” tag xx 
  2. Configure IP Address for External Network
    #configure vlan “ExternalNet” ipaddress x.x.x.x/x 
  3. Enable IP forwarding for External Network
    #enable ipforwarding vlan “ExternalNet” 
  4. Assign Port to External Network VLAN
    #configure vlan “ExternalNet” add port x untagged

Set Default Route to Core Switch

  1. #configure iproute add default x.x.x.x/x

Useful Commands

  1. Delete default route
    #configure iproute delete default x.x.x.x/x
