Switch A, Switch B and Switch C for any two hosts to communicate with each other.
Figure 1-3 Network diagram for IPv4 static route configuration
Configuration outlines
1) On Switch A, configure a default route with Switch B as the next hop.
2) On Switch B, configure one static route with Switch A as the next hop and the other with Switch C
as the next hop.
3) On Switch C, configure a default route with Switch B as the next hop.
Configuration procedure
1) Configure the IP addresses of the interfaces (omitted)
2) Configure IPv4 static routes
# Configure a default route to Switch B on Switch A.
z After you log in to the web interface of Switch A, select Network > IPv4 Routing from the
