Assign VLAN to route domain
What does assigning a VLAN to a route domain actually do? (isolate?)
Is it required that you do it when you setup a new route domain?
Many thanks for your help.

A VLAN can only be part of a single route domain, when a VLAN is created it is by default part of route domain 0.
Once assigned all traffic to/from a VLAN is limited to that single route domain.

Route domains deal with layer 3 routing. VLAN's are layer 2. When you assign it to a route domain and you say all traffic is limited to that single route domain do you mean layer 2 traffic or just layer 3 routing?
Furthermore does it mean any self IP addresses created using that VLAN now automatically use that route domain?

No, you need to define any IP configured with % e.g. 1.1.1.1%4 is part of route domain 4. However you can assign a partition to have a default route domain which hides the % stuff for that route domain.
