By mapping a super-VLAN to sub-VLANs, VLAN aggregation associates the Layer 3 VLANIF interface with physical interfaces so that all sub-VLANs share one gateway to communicate with an external network. In addition, proxy ARP can be used to implement Layer 3 connectivity between. A super-VLAN contains no physical interface and is used for creating a Layer 3 VLANIF interface. The sub-VLANs are addressed from the same IP subnet and share a. The GWN7830 Series of Layer 3 Aggregation Network Switches offers 3 model options, with up to 24 SFP ports and 12 SFP+ ports, which are ideal for medium-to-large businesses and enterprises that require high-performance networks with maximum capacity and control. Multilayer switches can forward frames based on MAC address information and can also forward IP packets based on IP. I am new to Extreme, coming from the Cisco world. I have read that there are no "routed" ports on EXOS/Switch Engine but you create a vlan and assign only that vlan to the ports. I want L3 links for OSPF between core and agg. This chapter covers the design recommendations for a data center design deployment consisting of a Cisco Nexus® 7000 Series Switch at the aggregation layer and a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch at the access layer.
