Hi Lee,

So you mean, Without "No SwitchPort" command on Switch , it will work as Routed port. As per my knowledge, Switch port should be L3 enabled with IP address. But here I am only assigning IP to Vlan and adding Switch port to that VLAN. How routing can possible?

Hi,

Well no not really, you can do this two way;

1. enable no switchport on the switchport, but this means you will need to config the ip address on the switch, you will also not need a vlan.

2. leave port as switchport, which means its a layer 2 port, and make it a static access vlan of the new vlan, then put the ip address under the new vlan interface,

Both of these ways will work for you.

Thanks Lee.

I know it will work. But it will not publish this network in any Routing Protocol Updates. I mean, this is perfect if switch is connected to one router and there is no any connection beyond Router. Please suggest if I am right.

Hi,

It is treated as a normal IP link, across that specific vlan, so yes if you were to run a routing protocol between the switch and router they would form an adjancency, if using ospf/isis/eigrp etc.

So you would have no problem with routing here.
