Configuring the Default Network

Configuring the Default Network
When IP routing is enabled on the switch, assign the IP default network address. The switch considers
routes to that network as the last resort. If the IP default network address is not available, the switch uses
the IP default gateway address. For every network configured with the IP default network address, the
switch flags that route as a candidate default route, if the route is available.
If you configure the static route IP forwarding and the default network details, these IP addresses will
Tip
be used regardless of the default gateway being enabled or disabled. If these IP address are configured
and not available, the switch will fall back to using the default gateway IP address, if you have configured
it. Be sure to configure IP addresses for all entries in the switch.

Configuring an IP Route

To configure an IP route or identify the default gateway, perform the following steps.
From the Device Manager, choose IP > Routes.
Step 1
You see the IP Routes window.
To create a new IP route or identify the default gateway on a switch, click Create.
Step 2
You see the Create IP Routes window.
Complete the fields in this window and click OK to add an IP route.
Step 3
To configure a static route, enter the destination network ID and subnet mask in the Dest and Mask fields.
Step 4
To configure a default gateway, enter the IP address of the seed switch in the Gateway field.

IP Access Control Lists

IP Access control lists (IP-ACLs) provide basic network security to all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000
Family. IP-ACLs restrict IP-related MDS out-of-band management traffic and in-band traffic based on
IP addresses (Layer 3 and Layer 4 information).
You can use IP-ACLs to control transmissions on an interface.

IP-ACL Configuration Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when configuring IP-ACLs in any switch or director in the Cisco MDS 9000
Family:

IP-ACLs cannot be configured for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (IPS modules) or for Fibre Channel
interfaces.
IP-ACLs can only be configured on the management interface and VSAN interfaces.
