Configuring IP Unicast Routing
This section describes the commands associated with configuring IP
unicast routing on the switch.
To configure routing:
1. Create and configure two or more VLANs.
Although it is possible to enable IP forwarding and an IP
routing protocol (such as RIP) with only one VLAN defined, the
switch does not create or respond appropriately to ICMP
messages unless at least two VLANs are created and
configured.
Note
For information on creating and configuring VLANs, refer to Chapter
8 .
2. Assign each VLAN that will be using routing an IP address, using
the following command:
config vlan ipaddress
{}
Ensure that each VLAN has a unique IP address.
3. Configure a default route, using the following command:
config iproute add default
{}
Default routes are used when the router has no other dynamic
or static route to the requested destination.
4. Turn on IP routing for one or all VLANs, using the following
command:
enable ipforwarding {vlan }
5. Turn on RIP or OSPF using one of the following commands:
enable rip
enable ospf
