Description
Associate a Layer 3 interface with the VLAN. Configure Layer 3 interfaces on trunk ports to allow the interface to transfer traffic between VLANs. Within a VLAN, traffic is bridged, while across VLANs, traffic is routed. Because traffic between VLANs must be routed, a common Layer 3 interface is required.
Default
No Layer 3 (routing) interface is associated with the VLAN.
Options
interface-name–logical-unit-number—Name of a logical interface.
vlan.logical-interface-number—Number of the logical interface. Use the unit number
that you used when you created the vlan interface with
a set interfaces (QFX Series) vlan unit statement.
