8-Port Gigabit (PoE+) Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with (2 SFP or 2 Copper Ports and)
Routing concepts
The switch supports IP routing. When a packet enters the switch, the switch checks the
destination MAC address to determine if it matches any of the configured routing interfaces.
If it does, the switch searches the host table for a matching destination IP address. If a
matching entry is found, the packet is routed to the host. If no matching entry is found, the
switch performs a longest prefix match on the destination IP address. If a matching entry is
found, the packet is routed to the next hop. If no matching entry is found, the packet is routed
to the next hop that is specified in the default route. If no default route exists, the packet is are
dropped.
The routing table can include static entries that you added manually. The host table can
include static entries that were manually added and entries that were dynamically added
through ARP.
Configure the routing mode
For information about how to configure the routing mode and display IP routing data, see the
following sections:
Configure the router settings on page 237
•
View the IP routing statistics on page 239
•
Configure the router settings
You can enable routing and configure the routing settings for the switch.
The switch allows routing through any of its interfaces only after you enable routing on the
switch. Separately, you can enable routing on VLANs (see Configure VLAN routing on
page 243).
To enable routing on the switch:
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.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on-network and
connected to the Internet on page 19 or Access the switch off-network on page 30.
