CONFIGURING IP UNICAST ROUTING

This section describes the commands associated with conÞguring IP unicast routing on

the Summit. ConÞguring routing involves the following steps:

¥ Verify the Switch operating mode is set to iprouting, by using the following

command:

show switch

If it is not, use the following command:

config devicemode iprouting

¥ Create and conÞgure two or more VLANs.

For information on creating and conÞguring VLANs, refer to Chapter 5.

¥ Assign each VLAN that will be using routing an IP address, using the following

command:

config vlan <name> ipaddress <ipaddress> {<mask>}

Ensure that each VLAN has a unique IP address.

¥ ConÞgure a default route, using the following command:

config iproute add default <gateway> {<metric>}

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 more VLANs, using the following command:

enable ipforwarding {vlan <name> | all}

¥ Turn on RIP, using the following command:

enable rip

When you create a VLAN, RIP is enabled by default. You must, however, enable RIP

on the Switch in order to route trafÞc. To disable RIP on a particular VLAN, use the

following command:

— config rip delete {vlan <name>}
