Configuring IP Routing (Layer 3)
Overview
This chapter and its procedures are specific to Layer 3 configuration. This chapter
describes how to configure IP on your switch.
Configuring IP Global Routing
In the Cajun P550 Switch, capabilities that once were provided by additional hardware,
such as bridges, switches, and hubs, are now provided as virtual configurations inside the
router. You can emulate bridging capabilities inside the chassis of the Cajun P550 Switch
through Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs). The ability to emulate bridging hardware
through a virtual means is referred to as IP Routing. High-level tasks involved in creating
and setting up IP Routing include:
❒ Creating an IP Interface
❒ Enabling IP Routing
❒ Assigning IP Interfaces to the VLAN
❒ Configuring Access Lists
❒ Activating Access Lists
❒ Creating IP Static Routes
❒ Creating Static ARP Entries
❒ Creating a BOOTP/DHCP Server Entry
❒ Configuring IGMP
❒ Configuring DVMRP
For information about creating and assigning physical ports to a VLAN, refer to "Creating
a VLAN", in Chapter 12. For information about enabling IP routing and assigning
subnets, refer to the following sections.
