8-4 CHAPTER 8: IP UNICAST ROUTING
Configuring IP
Unicast Routing
This section describes the commands associated with configuring IP
unicast routing on the Switch 3800. Configuring routing involves the
following steps:
Verify the Switch operating mode is set to “iprouting” by using the
following command:
show switch
If it is not, use the following command:
config devicemode iprouting
Create and configure two or more VLANs.
For information on creating and configuring VLANs, refer to
Chapter 5.
Assign each VLAN that will be using routing an IP address, using the
following command:
config vlan <name> ipaddress <ipaddress> {<mask>}
Ensure that each VLAN has a unique IP address.
Configure a default route, using the following command:
config iproute add default <gateway> {<metric>}
Default routes are used when the router has no other dynamic or
static route to the requested destination.
Turn on IP routing for one or more VLANs, using the following
command:
enable ipforwarding {vlan <name> | all}
Turn on RIP, using the following command:
enable rip
When you create a VLAN, RIP is enabled by default. You must,
however, enable RIP on the Switch to route traffic. To disable RIP on a
particular VLAN, use the following command:
config rip delete {vlan <name>}
