Routing IP Routing
• SW2 is connected to SW1 through PNNI, and both switches are part of the same emulated LAN.
To reach SW2 with the Ethernet-based NMS, create an IP route that assigns SW1's switch client as SW2's default
gateway to the network 128.205.99.0. Enter the following on SW2 (see Figure 5-3):
Smart6500 # add route
DestNetIP() : 128.205.99.0 < address of the Ethernet network to reach
GatewayIP() : 90.1.1.254 < IP address of SW1's LANE client
Smart6500 #
Switch SW2 can now communicate with the NMS on the Ethernet network.
To see the route, enter the show route command on SW2
Smart6500 # show route
