Basic IP parameters and defaults

Basic IP parameters and defaults
IP is enabled by default. The following protocols are disabled by default:
• Route exchange protocols (RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP4)
• Multicast protocols (IGMP, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, DVMRP)
• Router redundancy protocols (VRRP-E, VRRP, FSRP)
When parameter changes take effect
Most IP parameters described in this chapter are dynamic. They take effect immediately, as soon
as you enter the CLI command. You can verify that a dynamic change has taken effect by displaying
the running configuration. To display the running configuration, enter the show running-config or
write terminal command at any CLI prompt.
To save a configuration change permanently so that the change remains in effect following a
system reset or software reload, save the change to the startup configuration file. Enter the write
memory command from the Privileged EXEC level of any configuration level of the CLI.
Changes to memory allocation require you to reload the software after you save the changes to the
startup configuration file. When reloading the software is required to complete a configuration
change, the procedure that describes the configuration change includes a step for reloading the
software.
