For the purposes of this discussion, let's assume that we have a router
running dot1q encapsulation on an interface connected to a switch. The
switch port is programmed as a Dot1q trunk and connectivity is established
and functioning correctly. The router has subinterfaces programmed for
VLAN1 and VLAN2. If a node from VLAN1 needs to communicate with a node on
VLAN2, does all the traffic traverse the ethernet interface of the router?
Or is the router simply used for routing decisions and the traffic remain on
the backplane of the switch?
Thanks in advance.
