Cajun P880 Routing Switch Installation Guide 2 - 37
Configuring IP Routing on the Switch
The Cajun P880 Switch with Integrated Routing combines scalable
wire speed IP Layer3 switching (routing) with 10/100/1000
Ethernet Layer 2 switching (bridging) in a high-capacity chassis-
based system. The product emphasizes traditional, standards-
compliant IP operation and ample capacity to avoid bottlenecks.
For more detailed information on Cajun P880 Switch routing
operations, refer to “Routing with Layer 2 and Layer 3 Modules”, in
the Cajun P550/P220 Switch Operation Guide .
Minimum IP Routing
Configuration
Requirements The configuration process for the Cajun P880 Switch with integrated
routing has the following minimum requirements for using IP
routing:
■
IP routing must be globally enabled.
■
At least one routing protocol must be enabled (RIP, OSPF) to
allow communication between routers.
■
Determine which interfaces need to have IP routing enabled.
■
If you plan to expand your current network, create VLANs
(subnets) to address your network configuration.
■
Assign an IP address, subnet mask, routing protocol, and
multicast routing protocol to each IP interface you configure.
Routing
Configuration
Quickstart This section provides an overview of the LAN router configuration
operation. For more information on these configuration steps, see
the sections referenced after each step.
To configure the switch as a LAN router:
1. Create a IP interface for each subnet. Refer to “Creating and
Implementing VLANs”, in the Cajun P550/P220 Switch Operation Guide .
2. Create or assign a VLAN to the IP interface. Refer to “Assigning
IP Interfaces to the VLAN”, in the Cajun P550/P220 Switch Operation
Guide .
3. Bind ports to the VLANs assigned to the IP interfaces. Refer to
“Viewing Switch Port Parameters”, earlier in this chapter.
4. Specify how the router will communicate with other routers.
Refer to “Assigning IP Interfaces to the VLAN”, in the Cajun P550/
P220 Switch Operation Guide , to configure OSPF and RIP parameters.
