Switch Routing Interfaces Configuration

Dashboard Location: Switching > Configure > Routing and DHCP

Layer 3 Interface Management

Switch routing interfaces configuration in Meraki networks provides administrators with the capability to implement Layer 3 routing functionality on capable switches, enabling inter-VLAN routing, gateway services, and advanced networking features. This functionality supports subnet management, IP address assignment, multicast routing, OSPF protocol integration, and dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 configuration. Switch routing interfaces are essential for distributed routing architectures, network segmentation, reducing network hops, and providing high-performance inter-VLAN communication without requiring dedicated routers.
