Setting Up IP Routing on the Switch
Page 25-5
Step 3. Configuring Other IP Routing Features
There are several optional features that may be used with IP routing. Some features are
included as part of the base code and are described in this user manual. Other features are
available as optional switch software and are described in separate user manuals. The features
are listed here:
•
UDP forwarding—Forwards UDP broadcasts/multicasts across groups/VLANs. See
Chapter 26, “UDP Forwarding.”
• GateD—Provides gateway protocols, including
RIP, OSPF, and BGP/CIDR. See the Advanced
Routing User Manual.
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (
VRRP)—Used to back up static IP routes. See the
Advanced Routing User Manual.
• IP Firewall—Enables the switch to act as a gateway to provide security for all data enter-
ing and exiting the switch to and from its attached physical ports, as well as internally
between groups and
VLANs that are defined in the switch. See the Switched Network
Services User Manual.
• Multicast services—Includes IP multicast switching (
IPMS) and IP multicast routing
(MrouteD). See the Advanced Routing User Manual.
• IP Control—Manages IP addresses through Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (
LDAP),
DHCP, and Domain Name Service (DNS). See the Switched Network Services User Manual.
