Cisco 1700 Series Router Software Configuration Guide

Procedures for configuring routing between VLANs with IEEE 802.1Q
encapsulation are provided in Chapter 4, Configuring Routing Among VLANs
with IEEE 802.1Q Encapsulation.
VLAN Translation
VLAN translation refers to the ability of the Cisco IOS software to translate
between different virtual LANs or between VLAN and non-VLAN encapsulating
interfaces at Layer 2. Translation is typically used for selective inter-VLAN
switching of non-routable protocols and for extending a single VLAN topology
across hybrid switching environments. Translation also allows the bridging of
VLANs on the main interface; the VLAN encapsulating header is preserved.
Topology changes in one VLAN domain do not affect a different VLAN.
Designing Switched VLANs
By the time you are ready to configure routing between VLANs, you will already
have defined them through the switches in your network. Issues related to network
design and VLAN definition should be addressed during your network design.
Refer to the Cisco Internetworking Design Guide and appropriate switch
documentation for information on these topics:
Sharing resources among VLANs
Load balancing
Redundant links
Addressing
Segmenting networks with VLANs
Segmenting the network into broadcast groups improves network security.
Use router access lists based on station addresses, application types, and
protocol types.
Routers and their role in switched networks
In switched networks, routers perform broadcast management, route
processing and distribution, and provide communications among VLANs.
Routers provide VLAN access to shared resources and connection to other
