IP Configuration
This chapter provides general IPv4 routing configuration information.
For information about
• Configuring RIP or IRDP protocols, refer to Chapter 21, IPv4 Basic Routing Protocols
• Configuring OSPF, refer to Chapter 22, Configuring OSPFv2
• Configuring DVMRP or PIM-SM, refer to Chapter 19, Configuring Multicast
• Configuring VRRP, refer to Chapter 23, Configuring VRRP.
• IPv6 routing, refer to Chapter 25, Configuring and Managing IPv6.
Enabling the Switch for Routing
Startup and general configuration of the fixed switch must occur from the switch CLI. Once
startup and general switch settings are complete, IP configuration and other router-specific
commands can be executed when the switch is in router mode.
This chapter describes the various router modes and how to navigate them, how to configure a
routing interface, how to configure static routes and IP broadcast settings, and how to manage the
ARP table.
Router Configuration Modes
The fixed switch CLI provides different modes of router operation for issuing a subset of
commands from each mode. Table 20-1 describes these modes of operation.
