IP Routing Configuration

Overview
The 8100fl switch supports standards-based unicast routing for protocols such
as TCP, UDP, and IP. Unicast routing protocol support covers both Interior
Gateway Protocols and Exterior Gateway Protocols . This chapter describes
how to configure IP interfaces and general non-protocol-specific routing
parameters.
Interior Gateway Protocols are used for routing networks that are within an
"autonomous system," a network of relatively limited size. All IP interior
gateway protocols must be specified with a list of associated networks before
routing activities can begin. A routing process listens to updates from other
routers on these networks and broadcasts its own routing information on
those same networks.
The 8100fl switch supports the following Interior Gateway Protocols:
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Version 1, 2 (RFC 1058, 1723).
