Enabling Router Configuration Modes
24-2 Preparing for Router Mode
Example
The following example shows how to configure VLAN 1 on IP address 182.127.63.1 255.255.255.0
as a routing interface.
C3(su)->router
C3(su)->router>enable
C3(su)->router#configure
Enter configuration commands:
C3(su)->router(Config)#interface vlan 1
C3(su)->router(Config-if(Vlan 1))#ip address 182.127.63.1 255.255.255.0
C3(su)->router(Config-if(Vlan 1))#no shutdown
Enabling Router Configuration Modes
The Enterasys C3 CLI provides different modes of router operation for issuing a subset of
commands from each mode. Table 24-2 describes these modes of operation.
Table 24-1 Enabling the Switch for Routing
Step To do this task... Type this command... At this prompt... To get this prompt..
1 From admin (su) mode,
enable router mode.
router Switch:
C3(su)-> C3(su)->router>
2 Enable router Privileged
EXEC mode.
enable Router:
C3(su)->router> C3(su)->router#
3 Enable global router
configuration mode.
configure Router:
C3(su)->router# C3(su)>router(Config)#
4 Enable interface
configuration mode using the
routing VLAN or loopback id.
interface {vlan vlan-id |
loopback loop-id}
(See “interface” on page 25-3)
Router:
C3(su)>router(Config)# C3(su)->router (Config-if
(Vlan 1))#
5 Assign an IP address to the
routing interface.
ip address {ip-address ip-
mask}
(See “interface” on page 25-3)
Router:
C3(su)->router (Config-if
(Vlan 1))#
6 Enable the interface for IP
routing.
no shutdown
(See “no shutdown” on page
25-6)
Router:
C3(su)->router(Config-if
(Vlan 1))#
