what is the use of no switch port command in L3 switch?

[Collin Clark]

It makes the port into a routed port and you can apply an IP address directly to the port.

Hope that helps.

[vinothlb1]

Can u give any example scenario.

[glen.grant]

You use it as any routed port such as on a router. Instead of using a SVI and putting a port into that vlan you put the addressing info (gateway) directly on the port interface versus the SVI. You can then just connect to any other network device like a switch for layer 3 routing in that subnet.

Could you provide an example of the commands one would use to configure switchport to be a routed port. Please include how you would 'put the addressing info (gateway) directly on the port'.

This is for a 3750

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1

description example router port1

no switchport

ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0

no ip redirects

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2

description example router port 2

no switchport

ip address 10.10.11.1 255.255.255.0

no ip redirects

For default gateway you can use either

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 "ip of default gateway"

or

ip default-gateway "ip of default gateway"

do not forget to enable the ip routing in the switch.

Hi

Could any one please advise the following :  I almost have same issues as above.

I have 2 router connected to a 3750. Router A is hooked up with Internet and Router B is also hooked up with Internet

Current all the Traffic is going to Router A, I have connected the Router B on the 3750 and configured as no switch port and given a IP.

I was woundering how can I determine or change some traffice to go to Router B as all are going to Router A.

Below is the configuration that I have :

ip   default-gateway 192.168.100.1

!

ip http server

ip http secure-server

!

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0   192.168.100.1

!

Hi

it alll depends on you setup and the  feature sets.

When you have independent internet lines you can not simple loadbalance on the 3750.

You may whant to have a look into policy based routing wiht this you can assign protocols or hosts to a specific line.
