Port Routing Configuration Example
The diagram in this section shows a Layer 3 switch configured for port routing. It connects three different
subnets, each connected to a different port. The example shows the commands you would use to configure
the S-Series to provide the port routing support shown in the diagram.

1. Enable routing for the switch. IP forwarding will then be enabled by default.
2. Enable routing for the ports on the switch. The default link-level encapsulation format is Ethernet.
Configure the IP addresses and subnet masks for the ports. Network-directed broadcast frames will be
dropped and the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size will be 1500 bytes.
