Summary: 
This course explains VLANs contain broadcasts, which enable switched networks to be scaled to much larger sizes. To pass traffic between VLANs (different subnets), a Layer 3 device, such as a traditional router or multilayer switch, is needed. This course provides both a traditional approach to this issue, using external routers, as well as multilayer switching (MLS) with internal routers.

Ojectives: 
After completing this course, students will be able to:
Describe the issues when routing between VLANs
Configure routing between VLANs on an internal RP using routed and SVI interfaces
Configure routing between VLANs on a router-on-a-stick
Identify centralized, distributed, and topology-based switching
Use, enable, and verify CEF operation, NetFlow, and CEF switching
Articulate the fields rewritten in hardware in the Ethernet frame and IP packet
