Enabling Ipv4 Unicast Routing; Configuring Rip - Cisco ME 3400 Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 35 Configuring IP Unicast Routing

Enabling IPv4 Unicast Routing

By default, the switch is in Layer 2 switching mode and IP routing is disabled. To use the Layer 3
capabilities of the switch, you must enable IP routing.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable IP routing:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2 ip routing
Step 3 router ip_routing_protocol
Step 4
end
Step 5 show running-config
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config
Use the no ip routing global configuration command to disable routing.
This example shows how to enable IP routing using RIP as the routing protocol:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Switch(config)# ip routing
Switch(config)# router rip
Switch(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0
Switch(config-router)# end
You can now set up parameters for the selected routing protocols as described in these sections:

Configuring RIP

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) used in small,
homogeneous networks. It is a distance-vector routing protocol that uses broadcast User Datagram
Protocol (UDP) data packets to exchange routing information. You can find detailed information about
RIP in IP Routing Fundamentals, published by Cisco Press.

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enable IP routing.
Specify an IP routing protocol. This step might include other
commands, such as specifying the networks to route with the
network (RIP) router configuration command. For information on
specific protocols, see sections later in this chapter and to the Cisco
IOS IP Configuration Guide, Release 12.2.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
End with CNTL/Z.
