As before, the layer 3 device will still need to resolve the MAC address of PC B through an ARP request broadcasted out to VLAN 20. For example to move it by 50 drawing units to the right, enter 50,0 in the command line.
To move the selected entities by a given amount, enter a relative coordinate. Set the reference point with the mouse or enter a coordinate in the command line. The diagram below shows an example of a layer 3 switching routing between VLANs through its two VLAN interfaces. Move / Copy Select the entities you want to move or copy. When the computer sends traffic to another subnet, the destination MAC address in the packet will be that of the default gateway, which will then accept the packet at layer 2, and proceed to route the traffic to the appropriate destination based on its routing table. A client computer requires a default gateway for layer 3 connectivity to remote subnets. A Layer 3 switch is basically a switch that can perform routing functions in addition to switching. This is where a layer 3 switch can be utilized. Since VLANs exist in their own layer 3 subnet, routing will need to occur for traffic to flow in between VLANs. The image below shows an example of a multi-VLAN environment on a layer 2 switch: VLANs allow for greater flexibility by allowing different layer 3 networks to be sharing the same layer 2 infrastructure. A layer 2 switch can assign VLANs to specific switch ports, which in turn are in different layer 3 subnets, and therefore in different broadcast domains.
This is when it becomes useful to configure VLANs. Also, it may be preferable to separate certain clients into different broadcast domains for security and policy reasons. Large layer 2 broadcast domains can be susceptible to certain unintended problems, such as broadcast storms, which have the ability to cause network outages. Broadcasts are contained in the same layer 2 segment, as they do not traverse past a layer 3 boundary. Any broadcast traffic on a switch will be forwarded out all ports with the exception of the port the broadcast packet arrived on. Within a layer 2 switch environment exists a broadcast domain. It then sends the packet to the appropriate destination MAC address which the switch will then forward out the correct port based on its MAC-Address-Table. It does not know the unique MAC address however, until it discovers it through an ARP, which is broadcasted throughout the layer 2 segment: Here, PC A wants to send traffic to PC B at IP address 192.168.1.6. What is needed however is the destination MAC address which can be resolved through the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) as illustrated below: Devices in the same layer 2 segment do not need routing to reach local peers. Routing operates at layer 3, where packets are sent to a specific next-hop IP address, based on destination IP address. Traditional switching operates at layer 2 of the OSI model, where packets are sent to a specific switch port based on destination MAC addresses.
