Cajun P550/P880/P882 Switch User Guide
To configure your switch as an IP router, you must configure your
Cajun switch with the following hardware:
Layer 3 supervisor module
Layer 3 media modules (optional) including:
2-Port Gigabit Ethernet module
—
10-Port 100-Base-F module
—
12-Port 10/100-Base-T module
—
Your switch must be configured as follows to successfully create IP
routing:
IP routing must be globally enabled.
At least one routing protocol (RIP, OSPF) must be enabled, if
communication between routers is necessary.
Interfaces that need to have IP routing enabled have been
determined.
VLANs (subnets) have been created to address your network
configuration, if you plan to expand your current network.
IP address, subnet mask, routing protocol, and multicast
routing protocol to each IP interface that you configure have
been assigned.
This section provides an overview of the LAN router configuration
operation. For more information on these configuration steps, see
the sections referenced after each step.
To configure the switch as a LAN router:
1. Create an IP interface for each subnet. Refer to "Creating and
Implementing VLANs", in Chapter 4, Using VLANs, Spanning
Tree, Hunt Groups, and VTP Snooping.
2. Create or assign a VLAN to the IP interface. Refer to
"Configuring a Static Route for the PPP Console", earlier in
this chapter.
3. Bind ports to the VLANs assigned to the IP interfaces. Refer to
"Viewing Switch Port Parameters", in Chapter 5, Configuring
Port Parameters.
