A. Yes, the EtherSwitch modules support L2 switching for traffic between all the ports that belong to the same VLAN. For interVLAN routing, the modules use Layer 3 (L3) VLAN interface, which represents a VLAN at L3. All the L2 traffic in a VLAN to route goes to the L3 VLAN interface. This L3 VLAN interface receives support in conjunction with the EtherSwitch to route traffic at L3. You can apply access control lists (ACLs), routing, and IP addressing on this L3 interface.
