ARM Commands
enable ipforwarding lpm-routing
enable ipforwarding lpm-routing {vlan <vlan name>}
Description
Enables Longest Prefix Match (LPM) routing for the specified VLAN.
Syntax Description
vlan name
Specifies a VLAN name.
Default
Default is disabled.
Usage Guidelines
When either an ARM or MPLS module is installed in a BlackDiamond switch, the module may be
configured to forward IP packets for specified VLANs using LPM routing. If the
parameter
vlan name
is omitted, lpm-routing is enabled for all configured VLANs, except the management VLAN.
By default, lpm-routing is not enabled on the VLAN when IP forwarding is enabled (for example, all
VLANs perform host-based IP routing by default).
Example
This command configures LPM and IP-host routing for the hop2 VLAN:
enable ipforwarding lpm-routing hop2
