Example of Core Switch Configuration

A core switch can be configured with VLANs, SVIs, interconnections, and OSPF routing to serve as the backbone of a network.

Layer 3 Routing: SVIs and OSPF ensure inter-VLAN and inter-switch connectivity. Security: Limit VLAN access and consider ACLs on SVIs for traffic control. Scalability: Core switches should handle high throughput and support future VLAN expansion.

This configuration provides a functional core switch setup with VLAN segmentation, Layer 3 routing, redundancy, and optional VPN isolation, suitable for enterprise or lab environments.
