On a Cisco 3550-12G, running c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-13.EA1a.
If I use the command “no switchport” will this prevent this port from using CAM tables to switch packets?
I am looking to move all my sub interfaces from the core router to this 3550-12.
Plan #1 is/was assigning each of the sub interfaces from the router to individual switch ports.
Example:
Gi0/1 10.10.1.1
Gi0/2 10.10.2.1
Gi0/3 10.10.3.1
And so on down to port 11 with port 12 going back to the router.
Plan #2 is/was assigning each of the sub interfaces from the router to the individual vlans currently used.
Example:
Vlan1 10.10.1.1
Vlan2 10.10.2.1
Vlan3 10.10.3.1
And so on down to Vlan 11 with port 12 being a trunk port going back to the router.
My goal is to keep all the LAN traffic off of the router; leaving the router to handle WAN traffic. (New encryption requirements are processor intensive to say the least)
