Routing Features

VLAN Routing
The PowerConnect M6220/M8024/M6348 software supports VLAN routing. You can also configure the
software to allow traffic on a VLAN to be treated as if the VLAN were a router port.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
The route configuration and route preference features have the following changes:
• You can configure static reject routes (see Static Reject Routes).
• The default values for route preferences have changed.
• OSPF Type-1 and OSPF Type-2 routes are now classified as OSPF External routes.
OSPF Configuration
The Maximum Paths field allows OSPF to report a maximum of 4 paths for a given destination.
The following fields have been added for OSPF configuration options:
• Opaque LSA Status
• AS_OPAQUE LSA Count
• AS_OPAQUE LSA Checksum
• External LSDB Limit
• AutoCost Reference Bandwidth
• Default Passive Setting
• Stub Area Type of Service

The OSPF Link State Database page has been updated to display external LSDB table information and

of the following types of ICMP messages:
