IP CEF on vlan interface - how does it work ?

Hi all,

I have ip cef turn on

vlan4 SVI - 192.168.0.24


Coreswitch#show ip cef 192.168.3.0
192.168.3.0/24
  nexthop 192.168.0.5 Vlan4
Coreswitch#

To reach the 192.168.3.0/24 network, vlan4 needs to go to 192.168.0.5  which is another router on the same VLAN

q1) Can ip cef works with SVIs ?

q2) if I have a new router/route in the same vlan4, that can go to the 192.168.3.0/24 network
e.g.

192.168.3.0/24
  nexthop 192.168.0.5 Vlan4
  nexthop 192.168.0.6 Vlan4  -- new router

can CEF load balance through the same SVI (vlan4) to 2 different hop ?

q3) bearing in mind that ,  CEF must be enabled in the INGRESS interface (which is VLAN4 in my case) , however the same VLAN4 interface is use for EGRESS traffic to the 192.168.0.5, 192.168.0.6  routers

-- there is a ip route-cache same interface command for fastswitching  (do I need to issue it or do something similar ?)

q4) To see whether CEF is working > should I be concern about the INGRESS traffic or EGRESS ?


Coreswitch#show interfaces vlan4 stats
Vlan4
          Switching path    Pkts In   Chars In   Pkts Out  Chars Out
               Processor   11279901 1059635426          0          0
             Route cache        137      32438   18108586 1912013788
                   Total   11280038 1059667864   18108586 1912013788

What does it means over here that ->  my ingress are all process switched , but my egress are all route-cache ?
