Routing table, routes, and route
preferences
The routing table collects routes from multiple sources and list all routes: static routes,
local routes, dynamically added routes, and so on. Static routes are routes that you
manually add. The routing table can learn multiple routes to the same destination from
multiple sources, for example dynamically added routes through routing protocols.

Router discovery and router advertisements

By default, interfaces in a routing VLAN do not send router advertisements. You can
enable the router advertisements for a routing VLAN (and, consequently, for the
interfaces in the VLAN) and configure the settings for the router advertisements.
To configure router discovery for a routing VLAN:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network,
or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the address field of
your web browser.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on-network
and connected to the Internet on page 25 or Access the switch off-network and not
connected to the Internet on page 32.
The Device Admin Password page displays.
If you did not yet activate your warranty, the Register to activate your warranty page
displays. For more information, see Register the switch on page 35.
3. Enter one of the following passwords:
• Enter your device admin password.
• If you previously managed the switch through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight
app, enter the Insight network password for the last Insight network location.
For information about the credentials, see Credentials for the device UI on page 34.
4. Click the Login button.
The Dashboard page displays.
5. Select Routing > Router Discovery.
The Router Discovery page displays.
