NETGEAR 8800 User Manual
Configuring Basic IP Unicast Routing
To configure basic IP unicast routing, do the following:
1. Create and configure two or more VLANs.
2. Assign each VLAN that will be using routing an IP address using 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.
3. Configure a static route using the following command:
configure iproute add <ipv6Netmask> [<ipv6Gateway> | <ipv6ScopedGateway>]
{<metric>} {vr <vrname>} {multicast | multicast-only | unicast | unicast-only}
or
Configure a default route using the following command:
configure iproute add default [<ipv6Gateway> | <ipv6ScopedGateway>] {metric} {vr
<vrname>} {multicast-only | unicast-only}
Default routes are used when the router has no other dynamic or static route to the
requested destination.
4. Turn on IP routing for one or all VLANs using the following command:
enable ipforwarding ipv6 {vlan <vlan_name> | tunnel <tunnel-name> | vr
<vr_name>}
5. Configure the routing protocol, if required. For a simple network using RIPng, the default
configuration may be acceptable.
6. Turn on RIPng or OSPFv3 using one of the following commands:
enable ripng
enable ospfv3 {domain <domainName>}
