Configuring IP
This chapter describes the Internet Protocol (IP) parameters on Foundry Layer 2 Switches and Layer 3 Switches
and how to configure them.
NOTE: References to chassis-based Layer 3 Switches apply to the FastIron SuperX Switch.
This chapter contains the following information:
Basic Configuration
IP is enabled by default. Basic configuration consists of adding IP addresses and, for Layer 3 Switches, enabling
a route exchange protocol, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
• If you are configuring a Layer 3 Switch, see “Configuring IP Addresses” on page 16-17 to add IP addresses,
then see one or more of the following to enable and configure the route exchange protocols:
• “Configuring RIP” on page 17-1
• “Configuring OSPF” on page 20-1
• “Configuring BGP4” on page 21-1
