How do I set up VLAN routing for the VLANs and my managed switch using CLI commands?

The following code sequence shows how to enable routing for the VLANs:

(Netgear Switch) #vlan data (Netgear Switch) (Vlan)#vlan routing 10 (Netgear Switch) (Vlan)#vlan routing 20 (Netgear Switch) (Vlan)#exit

This returns the logical interface IDs that will be used instead of the slot/port in subsequent routing commands. Assume that VLAN 10 is assigned the ID 3/1, and VLAN 20 is assigned the ID 3/2.
Enable routing for the switch.

(Netgear Switch) #config (Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip routing (Netgear Switch) (Config)#exit
The next sequence shows an example of configuring the IP addresses and subnet masks for the virtual router ports.

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface vlan 10 (Netgear Switch) (Interface-vlan 10)#ip address 192.150.3.1 255.255.255.0 (Netgear Switch) (Interface-vlan 10)#exit (Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface vlan 20 (Netgear Switch) (Interface-vlan 20)#ip address 192.150.4.1 255.255.255.0 (Netgear Switch) (Interface-vlan 20)#exit (Netgear Switch) (Config)#exit
