    Inter VLAN

    This document discusses inter-VLAN routing and compares traditional and router-on-a-stick methods. With traditional routing, a router interface connects directly to each VLAN and requires a physical port per VLAN. Router-on-a-stick uses a single physical interface with subinterfaces to route multiple VLANs, allowing more VLANs per router. It has benefits of lower cost and complexity but risks performance issues from bandwidth contention. The document also covers configuring and troubleshooting both methods.

    • Router-on-a-stick is a type of router configuration
    in which a single physical interface routes traffic
    between multiple VLANs on a network.
    • The router interface is configured to operate as a
    trunk link and is connected to a switch port
    configured in trunk mode.
    • The router performs the inter-VLAN routing by
    accepting VLAN tagged traffic on the trunk
    interface coming from the adjacent switch and
    internally routing between the VLANs using
    subinterfaces.

    Routing (5)
    • Subinterfaces are multiple virtual
    interfaces, associated with one physical
    interface.
    • These subinterfaces are configured
    independently configured with an IP
    address and VLAN assignment to operate
    on a specific VLAN.

    Traditional Vs Router-on-stick (1)

    • Port Limits
    • Physical interfaces are configured to have one
    interface per VLAN on the network.
    – On networks with many VLANs, using a single router
    to perform inter-VLAN routing is not possible.
    – Instead, you could use multiple routers to perform
    inter-VLAN routing for all VLANs if avoiding the use of
    subinterfaces is a priority.

    • Subinterfaces allow a router to scale to


    accommodate more VLANs than the physical
    interfaces permit..
    Traditional Vs Router-on-stick (2)

    • Performance

    • Because there is no contention for bandwidth on separate


    physical interfaces, physical interfaces have better
    performance when compared to using subinterfaces.
    – Traffic from each connected VLAN has access to the full bandwidth of
    the physical router interface connected to that VLAN for inter-VLAN
    routing.

    • When subinterfaces are used for inter-VLAN routing, the


    traffic being routed competes for bandwidth on the single
    physical interface.
    – On a busy network, this could cause a bottleneck for communication.
    Traditional Vs Router-on-stick (3)

    • Access Ports and Trunk Ports

    • Connecting physical interfaces for inter-VLAN


    routing requires that the switch ports be
    configured as access ports.
    • Subinterfaces require the switch port to be
    configured as a trunk port so that it can accept
    VLAN tagged traffic on the trunk link.
    Traditional Vs Router-on-stick (4)

    • Cost

    • Financially, it is more cost-effective to use subinterfaces


    over separate physical interfaces.
    • Routers that have many physical interfaces cost more
    than routers with a single interface.
    • Additionally, if you have a router with many physical
    interfaces, each interface is connected to a separate
    switch port, consuming extra switch ports on the
    network.
    • Switch ports are an expensive resource on high
    performance switches.
    Traditional Vs Router-on-stick (5)

    • Complexity

    • Using subinterfaces for inter-VLAN routing results in a less


    complex physical configuration than using separate physical
    interfaces, because there are fewer physical network cables
    interconnecting the router to the switch.
    • On the other hand, using subinterfaces with a trunk port
    results in a more complex software configuration, which can
    be difficult to troubleshoot.
    – If one VLAN is having trouble routing to other VLANs, you need to
    check to see if the switch port is configured to be a trunk and verify
    that the VLAN is not being filtered on any of the trunk links before it
    reaches the router interface.
    – You also need to check that the router subinterface is configured to
    use the correct VLAN ID and IP address for the subnet associated
    with that VLAN.
