Hi all,
a simple question i guess..but need confirmation..we have configured vlans on my l3 switch and this is connected to a router. l3 switch is configured for ip routing.
Here are the below configurations.
For switch this is configured..
interface FastEthernet0/3
description TRANSIT VLAN
switchport access vlan 70
switchport mode access
!
interface Vlan70
description transit
ip address 10.191.28.8 255.255.255.240
This is fa0/3 port is connected to router with below config
interface FastEthernet1/0/3
no switchport
ip address 10.191.28.2 255.255.255.240
speed 100
duplex full
no cdp enable
my question is, Is the transit vlan really required?shouldn't it be just like a normal "no switchport" in the switch fa0/3 with ip address configured??does the current config have any advantages..

Zanub,
The only real good reason I would use a transit VLAN would be for synamic routing - but I guess you could use it for anything you want.
If your situation - it does not really enhance your network. I would turn fa0/3 into a normal switch port - and let the router talk to the l3 interface in the switch.
