Brocade ICX 6650 Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide 11

53-1002603-01

Basic IP parameters and defaults – Layer 3 Switches

IP is enabled by default. The following IP-based protocols are all disabled by default:

• Routing protocols:

- Routing Information Protocol (RIP) – refer to Chapter 3, “RIP (IPv4)”

- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) – refer to Chapter 5, “OSPF version 2 (IPv4)”

- Border Gateway Protocol version 4 (BGP4) – refer to Chapter 7, “BGP (IPv4)”

• Multicast protocols:

- Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP)

- Protocol Independent Multicast Dense (PIM-DM)

- Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse (PIM-SM)

NOTE

For more information, see the Brocade ICX 6650 IP Mulitcast Configuration Guide.

• Router redundancy protocols:

- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Extended (VRRP-E) – refer to Chapter 9, “VRRP and

VRRP-E”

- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) – refer to Chapter 9, “VRRP and VRRP-E”

The following tables list the Layer 3 Switch IP parameters, their default values, and where to find

configuration information.

NOTE

For information about parameters in other protocols based on IP, such as RIP, OSPF, and so on, refer

to the configuration chapters for those protocols.

When parameter changes take effect

Most IP parameters described in this chapter are dynamic. They take effect immediately, as soon

as you enter the CLI command. You can verify that a dynamic change has taken effect by displaying

the running-config. To display the running-config, enter the show running-config or write terminal

command at any CLI prompt.

To save a configuration change permanently so that the change remains in effect following a

system reset or software reload, save the change to the startup-config file:

• To save configuration changes to the startup-config file, enter the write memory command

from the Privileged EXEC level of any configuration level of the CLI.

Changes to memory allocation require you to reload the software after you save the changes to the

startup-config file. When reloading the software is required to complete a configuration change

described in this chapter, the procedure that describes the configuration change includes a step

for reloading the software.

IP global parameters – Layer 3 Switches
