Title: Implementation of Inter-VLAN Routing.

Introduction:
Inter-VLAN routing is the ability to route, or send, traffic between VLANs that are normally
blocked by default. Switches and VLANs work at the MAC address Layer (Layer 2). Traffic
can’t be routed between VLANs at Layer 2 based on MAC addresses. Therefore, routers (or
Layer 3 switches) that use IP addresses (Layer 3) are required for inter-VLAN routing. VLANs
don’t use IP addresses. However, VLANs can be paired with IP address ranges (subnets). It is
best practice to pair one subnet/IP address range with one VLAN. Most real-world
implementations map VLANs to subnets.
Administrators can configure subnets, allowing routing between VLANs or inter-VLAN routing.
By using routing this way, administrators can balance network segmentation with the need to
enable select traffic to transmit across VLANs and subnets.
Objective:
1. VLANs provide a number of advantages including ease of administration, confinement of
broadcast domains, reduced network traffic, and enforcement of security policies. VLANs enable
logical grouping of end-stations that are physically dispersed on a network.
2. Inter-VLAN routing enables routers or Layer 3 switches to route traffic between VLANs.
Because the use case is so common, network administrators need to understand inter-VLAN
routing.
Required Equipments:
1. Router (2901)
2. 3 Switches.
3. Ethernets cables.
4. Multiples devices or computers for each Vlan.

In this experiment, we learned about Inter VLAN routing. In this experiment there are two types
of data flow mode, one is access mode, and another is trunk mode. There are several reasons why
an inter-VAN configuration may not work. All are related to connectivity issues such as missing
VLANs, switch trunk port issues, switch access port issues, and router configuration issues.
Using a VLAN not only offers the benefit of containing traffic within a VLAN, but also provides
security by restricting communication between hosts in different VLANs. A typical VLAN
implementation will have hosts in each VLAN with a unique IP subnet. The use of Inter VLAN
routing allowed for the creation of multiple logical subnets within a single physical network,
improving network security and organization.
