Revise Configuration Cisco L3 Switch for S11 Interface


Some of Cisco switch with layer 3 feature (Cisco 3750, etc) or routers with switching capabilities (Cisco 76 series, etc) have different way to config. In previous post Implement Cisco L3 Switch for S11 Interface and Implement Cisco L3 Switch for MME,SGW,DNS (S11 Interface), used physical-interface to configure IP address and virtual routing (VRF). Also don't forget to configure 'no switchport' to enable physical-interface as layer 3, due to some case interface as layer 2 by default.

#### Config

L3_Switch#
ip vrf S11_VR
 rd 65000:16

interface Ethernet0/1
 description S11_MME
 ip vrf forwarding S11_VR
 ip address 192.168.16.1 255.255.255.240
 duplex auto

interface Ethernet0/2
 description S11_SGW
 ip vrf forwarding S11_VR
 ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.240
 duplex auto 

interface Ethernet0/3
 description S11_DNS
 ip vrf forwarding S11_VR
 ip address 192.168.21.1 255.255.255.240
 duplex auto 

The other way is used vlan-interface to configure IP address and virtual routing (VRF), create vlan-id and assign physical interface to access mode. Also don't forget to configure 'no switchport' to enable vlan-interface as layer 3, due to some case interface as layer 2 by default.

#### Config

L3_Switch#
ip vrf S11_VR
 rd 65000:16

vlan 11
 name S11_MME
 state active
 no shutdown

interface Ethernet0/1
 switchport
 switchport access vlan 11
 duplex auto

interface vlan11
 no switchport
 description S11_MME
 ip vrf forwarding S11_VR
 ip address 192.168.16.1 255.255.255.240

vlan 12
 name S11_SGW
 state active
 no shutdown

interface Ethernet0/2
 switchport
 switchport access vlan 12
 duplex auto

interface vlan12
 no switchport
 description S11_SGW
 ip vrf forwarding S11_VR
 ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.240

vlan 13
 name S11_DNS
 state active
 no shutdown

interface Ethernet0/3
 switchport
 switchport access vlan 13
 duplex auto

interface vlan13
 no switchport
 description S11_DNS
 ip vrf forwarding S11_VR
 ip address 192.168.21.1 255.255.255.240

My apologies about it, for next I will use vlan-interface to configure Cisco switch interface as layer 3.
