Switches have IP routing for a reason, why make a hop off the switch to the router and back just to route between separate VLAN's? I've got four ports on my switch at home in a LAG for my FreeNAS box, having to jump out to my external router then back to traverse the separate subnets make the setup worthless.



yes most modern switches also can do routing but that's not the setup the above poster mentions. a dumb unmanaged switch doesn't even look at IP
