Juniper Networks Technical Documentation

Routed VLAN interfaces (RVIs) allow an EX-series switch to determine if packets are local or remote, bridging local traffic whenever possible to reduce processing layers and address lookups. To configure an RVI, you create a VLAN, assign an interface to the VLAN as a member, create an IP subnet for the VLAN, and bind a Layer 3 interface to the VLAN. This allows traffic to bridge within a VLAN and route across VLANs on a trunk port.

11/3/2014 Juniper Networks :: Technical Documentation :: Configuring Routed VLAN Interfaces (CLI Procedure)

CONFIGURING ROUTED VLAN INTERFACES (CLI PROCEDURE)

Routed VLAN interfaces (RVIs) enable the EX-series switch to recognize which packets are being sent to
local addresses so that they are bridged whenever possible and are routed only when needed. Whenever
packets can be switched instead of routed, several layers of processing are eliminated. Switching also
reduces the number of address look-ups. For redundancy purposes, RVI can be combined with
implementations of the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) in both bridging and VPLS
environments.

To configure the routed VLAN interface:

1. Create the VLAN by assigning it a name and a VLAN ID:


[edit]
user@switch# set vlans support vlan-id 111
2. Assign an interface to the VLAN by specifying the logical interface (with the unit statement) and
specifying the VLAN name as the member:
[edit]
user@switch# set interfaces ge-0/0/18 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan
members support
3. Create the subnet for the VLAN’s broadcast domain:
[edit]
user@switch# set interfaces vlan unit 111 family inet address 111.111.111.1/24
4. Bind a Layer 3 interface with the VLAN:
[edit]
user@switch# set vlans support l3-interface vlan.111

Note: Layer 3 interfaces on trunk ports allow the interface to transfer traffic
between multiple VLANs. Within a VLAN, traffic is bridged, while across
VLANs, traffic is routed.

You can display the configuration settings:

user@switch> show interfaces vlan terse

regress@tp-robin# run show interfaces vlan terse
