Routed VLAN Interfaces
You can configure a routed VLAN interface (RVI) for a private VLAN (PVLAN) on an EX Series Virtual Chassis. Instead of a router connected to a promiscuous port routing Layer 3 traffic between isolated and community members, you can alternatively use an RVI.
To set up routing within a PVLAN, one RVI must be configured for the primary VLAN on one switch or Virtual Chassis in the PVLAN domain. This RVI serves the entire PVLAN domain regardless of whether the domain consists of one or more switches. After you configure the RVI, Layer 3 packets received by the secondary VLAN interfaces are mapped to and routed by the RVI.
When setting up the RVI, you must also enable proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) so that the RVI can handle ARP requests received by the secondary VLAN interfaces.
Configuring a Routed VLAN Interface in a Private VLAN on an EX Series Switch
Before you begin, configure the PVLAN as described in Creating a Private VLAN on a Single EX Series Switch (CLI Procedure) or Creating a Private VLAN Spanning Multiple EX Series Switches (CLI Procedure).
To configure an RVI for a PVLAN:
Configuring a Routed VLAN Interface in a Private VLAN on an EX Series Switch (ELS Procedure)
Before you begin, configure the PVLAN as described in Creating a Private VLAN on a Single Switch with ELS Support (CLI Procedure) or Creating a Private VLAN Spanning Multiple EX Series Switches with ELS Support (CLI Procedure).
On a switch with ELS, the RVI is called the Intergrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) interface.
To configure an IRB for a PVLAN:
Verifying Routed VLAN Interface Status and Statistics on EX Series Switches
Purpose
Determine status information and traffic statistics for routed VLAN interfaces (RVIs) by using the following commands:
Action
Display RVI interfaces and their current states:
user@switch> show interfaces vlan terse Interface Admin Link Proto Local Remote vlan up up vlan.111 up up inet 111.111.111.1/24
Display Layer 2 VLANs, including any tags assigned to the VLANs and the interfaces associated with the VLANs:
user@switch> show vlans
Name Tag Interfaces

Display Ethernet switching table entries for the VLAN that is attached to the RVI:
user@switch> show ethernet-switching table Ethernet-switching table: 1 entries, 0 learned VLAN MAC address Type Age Interfaces support 00:19:e2:50:95:a0 Static - Router
Display an RVI’s ingress-counting statistics with either the show interfaces vlan detail command or the show interfaces vlan extensive command. Ingress counting is displayed as Input bytes and Input packets under Transit Statistics.
