Configuring Base Layer 3 and Enabling Routing Protocols
Table 111 lists the individual Dell PowerConnect switches and the base Layer 3 features they
support.
NOTE
Layer 2 with base Layer 3 images provide static RIP support. The device does not learn RIP routes
from other Layer 3 devices. However, the device does advertise directly connected routes and can
be configured to dynamically learn default routes. Dell recommends that you deploy these devices
only at the edge of your network, since incoming traffic can learn directly-connected routes
advertised by the Dell PowerConnect device, but outgoing traffic to other devices must use statically
configured or default routes.
Adding a static IP route
To add a static IP route, enter a command such as the following at the global CONFIG level of the
CLI.
PowerConnect(config)#ip route 209.157.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
This command adds a static IP route to the 209.157.2.x/24 subnet.
Syntax: [no] ip route <dest-ip-addr> <dest-mask> <next-hop-ip-addr> [<metric>] [tag <num>]
