ProSafe Managed Switch • In the Routing Mode field, select Enable. d. Click Apply to save the settings. Add a Default Route When IP routing takes place on a switch, a routing table is needed for the switch to forward the packet based on the destination IP address. The route entry in the routing table can either be created dynamically through routing protocols like RIP and OSPF, or be manually created by the network administrator. The route created manually is called the static or default route. A default route is used for forwarding the packet when the switch can not find a match in the routing table for an IP packet. The following example shows how to create a default route. CLI: Add a Default Route (FSM7338S) (Config) #ip route default? Enter the IP Address of the next router. (FSM7328S) (Config)#ip route default 10.10.10.2 Note that IP subnet 10.10.10.0 should be configured using either port routing (Enable Routing for Ports on the Switch on page 61) or VLAN routing (see Set Up VLAN Routing for the VLANs and the Switch on page 72). Web Interface: Add a Default Route 1. Select Routing > Routing Table > Basic > Route Configuration. The Route Configuration screen displays. 2. In the Route Type list, select DefaultRoute. 3. In the Next Hop IP Address field, enter one of the routing interface's IP addresses. • The Network Address and Subnet Mask fields will not accept input as they are not needed. 64 | Chapter 4.
