Configuring Networking Protocols
This chapter describes how to configure the ML-Series card for supported IP routing protocols. It is
intended to provide enough information for a network administrator to get the protocols up and running.
However, this section does not provide in-depth configuration detail for each protocol. For detailed
information, refer to the Cisco IOS IP and IP Routing Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS IP and IP
Routing Command Reference publications.
This chapter contains the following major sections:
• Basic IP Routing Protocol Configuration, page 11-1
• Configuring IP Routing, page 11-4
• Monitoring Static Routes, page 11-32
• Monitoring and Maintaining the IP Network, page 11-33
• Understanding IP Multicast Routing, page 11-33
• Configuring IP Multicast Routing, page 11-34
• Monitoring and Verifying IP Multicast Operation, page 11-35
Basic IP Routing Protocol Configuration
IP routing is enabled by default on the ML-Series card.
For IP routing, you need the following to configure your interface:
• IP address
• IP subnet mask
You also need to do the following:
• Select a routing protocol.
• Assign IP network numbers to be advertised.
The ML Series supports the routing protocols listed and described in the following sections.
To configure IP routing protocols to run on a Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or
Packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS) interface, perform one of the following procedures, depending on the
protocol you are configuring.
