Usage Guidelines

A virtual routing interface is a logical routing interface that RUCKUS Layer 3 Switches use to route Layer 3 protocol traffic between VLANs.

Beginning with 09.0.00 release, when a VLAN is configured, a virtual routing interface is statically mapped to the VLAN ID. However, only when you issue the interface veve-num command does the virtual interface get created. You must ensure that the ve-num corresponds to the vlan-id of the VLAN under which it is configured.

Configure routing parameters on the virtual interface to enable the Layer 3 switch to route protocol traffic from one VLAN to the other, without using an external router.

The no form of the command removes the VE interface.

Examples

The following example designates a virtual interface, enters configuration sub-mode for the interface, and assigns the interface an IP address. 

device(config)# vlan 200
device(config-vlan-200)# interface ve 200
device(config-vif-200)# ip address 10.10.10.254/24
Release version Command history
09.0.00 The VE-VLAN static mapping was introduced.
