IP Routing Overview
The PowerConnect 7000 Series switches are multilayer switches that support
static and dynamic routing. Table 32-1 describes some of the general routing
features that you can configure on the switch.

ARP table
Description
You can configure the type of ICMP messages that
the switch responds to as well as the rate limit and
burst size.
The switch supports a single default gateway. A
manually configured default gateway is more
preferable than a default gateway learned from a
DHCP server.
The switch maintains an ARP table that maps an
IP address to a MAC address. You can create static
ARP entries in the table and manage various ARP
table settings such as the aging time of
dynamically-learned entries.
