Route Switch
As noted previously, an external router may be used to connect VLANs
on the Catalyst switch. This usually occurs through a single connection con-
figured for ISL or another trunking protocol. Fast Ethernet and Gigabit
Ethernet connections are common for this configuration.
When configuring the router for this type of connection, each VLAN must
be defined to a subinterface, and the main interface must be configured with-
out a configuration. This usually appears as follows:
interface fastethernet 0/0
no ip address
no shutdown
full-duplex
interface fastethernet 0/0.1
