Chapter 9 Routing Routing is the method by which the host or gateway decides where to send the datagram. Routing is the task of finding a path from a sender to a desired destination. It may be able to send the datagram directly to the destination, if that destination is on one of the networks that are directly connected to the host or gateway. However, what if the destination is not directly reachable? The host or gateway will attempt to send the datagram to a gateway that is nearer to the destination. The goal of a routing protocol is very simple: It is to supply the information that is needed to do routing. The Routing module is mainly for routing management configuration of the switch, including four submenus: Interface, Routing Table, Static Routing and ARP. 9.1 Interface Interface is a virtual interface in Layer 3 mode and mainly used for realizing the Layer 3 connectivity between VLANs or routed ports. Each VLAN interface is corresponding to one VLAN. Each routed port is corresponding to one port. Each Layer 3 port-channel is corresponding to one port channel. Loopback Interface is purely software implemented. Interface has its own IP address and subnet mask to identify the subnet it belongs to, and it works as the gateway of the subnet to forward Layer 3 IP packets. Choose the menu Routing→Interface→Interface Config to load the following page. Figure 9-1 Interface Config The following entries are displayed on this screen:  Create Interface Interface ID: Enter the ID of the interface corresponding to VLAN interface, loopback interface, routed port or port channel. IP Address Mode: Specify IP Address allocation mode.  None: without ip.  Static: setup manually.  DHCP: allocated through DHCP.  BOOTP: allocated through BOOTP. 156

Chapter 9 Routing
Routing is the method by which the host or gateway decides where to send the datagram. Routing
is the task of finding a path from a sender to a desired destination. It may be able to send the
datagram directly to the destination, if that destination is on one of the networks that are directly
connected to the host or gateway. However, what if the destination is not directly reachable? The
host or gateway will attempt to send the datagram to a gateway that is nearer to the destination.
The goal of a routing protocol is very simple: It is to supply the information that is needed to do
routing.
The Routing module is mainly for routing management configuration of the switch, including four
submenus:
Interface
,
Routing Table
,
Static Routing
and
ARP
.
9.1 Interface
Interface is a virtual interface in Layer 3 mode and mainly used for realizing the Layer 3
connectivity between VLANs or routed ports. Each VLAN interface is corresponding to one VLAN.
Each routed port is corresponding to one port. Each Layer 3 port-channel is corresponding to one
port channel. Loopback Interface is purely software implemented. Interface has its own IP address
and subnet mask to identify the subnet it belongs to, and it works as the gateway of the subnet to
forward Layer 3 IP packets.
