Configuring Basic Unicast Routing
To configure IP unicast routing on the switch:
- Create and configure two or more VLANs.
-
For each VLAN that participates in IP routing, assign an
IP address, use the following command:
configure {vlan} vlan_name ipaddress [ipaddress {ipNetmask} | ipv6-link-local | {eui64} ipv6_address_mask]Ensure that each VLAN has a unique IP address.
-
Configure a default route using the following
command:
configure iproute add default gateway {metric} {multicast | multicast-only | unicast | unicast-only} {vr vrname}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 all VLANs using the
following command:
enable ipforwarding {ipv4 | broadcast | ignore-broadcast | fast-direct-broadcast} {vlan vlan_name}
- Configure the routing protocol, if required. For a simple network using RIP, the default configuration may be acceptable.
-
Turn on RIP or
OSPF using
one of the following commands:
enable ripenable ospf
