Chapter 34 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
You can now set up parameters for the selected routing protocols as described in these sections:
• Configuring RIP, page 34-20
• Configuring OSPF, page 34-25
• Configuring EIGRP, page 34-34
• Configuring BGP, page 34-40
• Configuring Protocol-Independent Features, page 34-60 (optional)
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ip routing Enable IP routing.
Step 3
router ip_routing_protocol Specify an IP routing protocol. This step might include other
commands, such as specifying the networks to route with the
network (RIP) router configuration command. For information on
specific protocols, refer to sections later in this chapter and to the
Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide, Release 12.2.
Note The SMI supports only RIP as a routing protocol
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show running-config Verify your entries.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
