2.1.3. Enable Global Routing

You need to enable the routing mode to allow the switch to operate as a L3 device in this scenario.

To do this, navigate to the L3 Features à IP à Configuration page. Select Enable from the

Routing Mode drop-down menu and click Submit.

Since all routes are local to the switch, you do not need to configure any static routes for

this scenario.

When routing is enabled, you should create a Loopback interface for the wireless

functions.

The loopback interface isolates the wireless functions from other switching and

routing functions that the switch might use. A key benefit to the loopback interface is that it stays

up independent of the physical port status. The loopback interface is created on its own subnet

and static routes must be configured to allow the rest of the network to get to it.
