Configuring Routing User Manual209
How the switch handles routing
For each incoming packet, the switch uses the destination MAC address to determine if the
address matches a configured routing interface. If it does, the switch searches the host table
for a matching destination IP address:
• The host table contains a matching IP address.The packet is routed to the host.
• The host table does not contain a matching IP address. The switch searches for the
longest prefix match on the destination IP address:
- A match occurs. The packet is routed to the next hop.
- No match occurs but a default route exists. The packet is routed to the next hop
that is specified in the default route.
- No match occurs and no default route exists. The packet is dropped.
The routing table can include entries that were manually added. The host table can include
entries that were manually added or dynamically added through ARP.
Enable the routing mode
By default, the routing mode is disabled on the switch. You can enable the routing mode to let
the switch route traffic through its interfaces.
You can also enable routing for a VLAN interface (see Configure routing VLANs on
page 213) and use the VLAN routing wizard to create a VLAN routing interface (see
Configure VLAN routing with the VLAN Routing Wizard on page 214).
To enable routing on the switch:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
For information about finding the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on
page 14.
The Local Device Login page displays.
If you did not yet register the switch with your NETGEAR account, the Register to unlock
all features page displays. For more information, see
Register and access the switch with
your NETGEAR account on page 29.
4. Enter one of the following passwords:
• After registration, enter your customized local device password.
