This chapter covers the following topics that you need to master for the CCNP BCMSN exam:

  • InterVLAN Routing This section discusses how you can use a routing function with a switch to forward packets between VLANs.

  • Multilayer Switching with CEF This section discusses Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) and how it is implemented on Catalyst switches. CEF forwards or routes packets in hardware at a high throughput.

  • Troubleshooting Multilayer Switching This section provides a brief summary of the commands that can verify the configuration and operation of InterVLAN routing, CEF, and fallback bridging.

Chapter 3, "Switch Operation," presents a functional overview of how multilayer switching (MLS) is performed at Layers 3 and 4. The actual MLS process can take two formsInterVLAN routing and Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF). This chapter expands on multilayer switch operation by discussing both of these topics in greater detail.
