ABSTRACT:
An integrated processor-controlled router and switch fabric architecture provides connectivity between local area network (LAN) ports serving a plurality of local area network users and a wide area network (WAN) port that provides connectivity with the internet. IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) trunks are automatically created by the processor in response to a reduced set of command inputs. No user-configurable physical link exists between the switch fabric and the router. Instead, a virtual IEEE 802.1Q trunk is created through software to provide connectivity between the switch fabric and the router's control processor.
