Chapter 28 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Enabling IP Unicast Routing
Enabling IP Unicast Routing
By default, the switch is in Layer 2 switching mode and IP routing is disabled. To use the Layer 3
capabilities of the switch, you must enable IP routing.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable IP routing:
Use the no ip routing global configuration command to disable routing.
This example shows how to enable IP routing using RIP as the routing protocol:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# ip routing
Switch(config)# router rip
Switch(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0
Switch(config-router)# end
