IP Routing Features Overview of IP Routing Overview of IP Routing The switches covered in this guide offer the following IP routing features, as noted: ■ IP Static Routes - up to 256 static routes ■ RIP (Router Information Protocol) - supports RIP Version 1, Version 1 compatible with Version 2 (default), and Version 2 ■ IRDP (ICMP Router Discovery Protocol) - advertises the IP addresses of the routing interfaces on this switch to directly attached host systems ■ DHCP Relay - allows you to extend the service range of your DHCP server beyond its single local network segment Throughout this chapter, the switches covered in this guide are referred to as "routing switches". When IP routing is enabled on your switch, it behaves just like any other IP router. Basic IP routing configuration consists of adding IP addresses, enabling IP routing, and, enabling a route exchange protocol, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP). For configuring the IP addresses, refer to the chapter titled "Configuring IP Addresses" in the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch. The rest of this chapter describes IP routing and how to configure it in more detail. Use the information in this chapter if you need to change some of the IP parameters from their default values or you want to view configuration information or statistics. 3-4
