Got hands on some meraki switches and they are new to me. &nbsp;When creating an Interface on a switch ti enable layer 3, do i need to create a interface for every vlan that will be on that switch as will as an interface for ever switch too.<br />

Example. i have 4 switches. 10 vlans. &nbsp;do i need to create60 interfaces total?

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
