What is the purpose of VLAN routing?
You can use VLAN routing to allow more than one physical port to reside on the same subnet, to span a VLAN over multiple physical networks, or to provide additional segmentation or security. A port can be either a VLAN port or a router port, but not both.
What are the three inter-VLAN routing options?
There are three inter-VLAN routing options:
- Legacy Inter-VLAN routing: This is a legacy solution.
- Router-on-a-Stick: This is an acceptable solution for a small- to medium-sized network.
- Layer 3 switch using switched virtual interfaces (SVIs): This is the most scalable solution for medium to large organizations.
What is necessary for a router on a stick inter-VLAN routing?
The router-on-a-stick method requires you to create a subinterface for each VLAN to be routed. A subinterface is created using the interface interface_id. subinterface_id global configuration mode command. The subinterface syntax is the physical interface followed by a period and a subinterface number.
What is the difference between router on a stick and inter VLAN routing?
Inter VLAN routing is a process in which we make different virtual LANs communicate with each other irrespective of where the VLANs are present (on same switch or different switch). When the Inter VLAN Routing is done through Router it is known as Router on a stick.

What is the purpose of the routing process?
The routing process usually directs forwarding on the basis of routing tables. Routing tables maintain a record of the routes to various network destinations. Routing tables may be specified by an administrator, learned by observing network traffic or built with the assistance of routing protocols.
Why is routing important?
To determine the optimal route for data to travel, networks employ a system called routing. Network routing examines every possible path that data can take across a network and chooses the route that the data will take. Routing is important for networks to get data where it needs to go as quickly as possible.
How does SonicWall work with a VLAN switch?
Plug each port into the appropriate VLAN switch port on the switches. From there you can direct traffic between the VLAN’s by using the zones on the Sociwall that are assigned to the ports you specified per vlan. You will not need a layer 3 switch for this setup as the sonicwall will take care of the routing.
What does it mean to use static routing in SonicWall?
Static routing means configuring the SonicWALL to route network traffic to a specific, predefined destination. Static routes must be defines if the LAN, WAN, or other defined interface is segmented into subnets, either for size or practical considerations.
Which is policy based routing ( PBR ) in SonicWall?
Policy Based Routing (PBR) allows you to create extended static routes to provide more flexible and granular traffic handling capabilities. SonicOS PBR allows for matching based upon source address, source netmask, destination address, destination netmask, service, interface, and metric.
Can you use SonicWall to route between subnets?
That is the default behaviour. Adding NAT translation between neighboring subnets would not be an ‘enabled by default’ feature. Simply adding those subnets into your SonicWall would allow them to communicate as long as your hosts are pointing to it as a default gateway. I am wondering about how to setup LAN_2.
