Ip Routing; Ip Multicast Routing; Ipx Routing - Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch 6000 Installation & User Manual

Features
each IPX interface. When the 6SSRM-02 receives a packet whose destination MAC address is one
of the 6SSRM-02's IP or IPX interface MAC addresses, the port that received the packet from the
network uses information in the module's L3 lookup tables (or information supplied by the
motherboard) to route the packet to its IP destination(s).
You can create only one IP and IPX interface on a single port or VLAN. You can add secondary IP
addresses to the same IP interface. When you add an interface to a set of ports, you are adding a
VLAN to those ports. Ports that contain IP and IPX interfaces can still perform Layer-2 bridging.

IP Routing

The 6SSRM-02 supports the following IP unicast routing protocols:
• RIP v1 and RIP v2
• OSPF v2
• BGP v2/v3/v4
IP interfaces do not use a specific routing protocol by default. When you configure an interface for
routing, you also specify the routing protocol the interface will use.

IP Multicast Routing

The 6SSRM-02 supports the following IP multicast routing protocols:
• IGMP v1 and IGMP v2
• DVMRP v3
The 6SSRM-02 does not use a specific IP Multicast routing protocol by default. Configuring an
interface for IP Multicast simultaneously specifies its routing protocol.

IPX Routing

The 6SSRM-02 supports the following IPX routing protocols:
• IPX RIP – a version of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) tailored for IPX
• IPX SAP – the Service Advertisement Protocol, which allows hosts attached to an IPX network
to reach printers, file servers, and other services
By default, IPX routing is enabled on the 6SSRM-02 when an IPX interface is created.
