IP Unicast Routing
This chapter describes how to configure IP routing on the Intel

480T routing switch. It assumes that you are already
familiar with IP unicast routing. If not, refer to these publications for
additional information:
• RFC 1256 — ICMP Router Discovery Messages
• RFC 1812 — Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers
For IEEE standards information refer to http://standards.ieee.org
Overview of IP Unicast Routing
For more information on
routing protocols, refer to
"Enterprise Standby
Router Protocol (ESRP)"
on page 167 and "IP
Multicast Routing" on page
275.
The 480T routing switch provides full Layer 3, IP unicast routing. It
exchanges routing information with other routers o8n the network using
either the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or the Open Shortest Path
First (OSPF) protocol. The 480T routing switch dynamically builds and
maintains a routing table and determines the best path for each of its
routes.
Each host using the IP unicast routing functionality of the switch must
have a unique IP address assigned. In addition, the default gateway
assigned to the host must be the IP address of the router interface. RIP and
OSPF are described in Chapter 13.
