Overview of IP Routing

The HP Procurve Switches 2650 and 6108 offer IP static routing, supporting
up to 16 static routes.
IP static routing is configurable through the switch's console CLI.
Throughout this chapter, the HP Procurve Switches 2650 and 6108 will be
referred to as "routing switches". When IP routing is enabled on your switch,
it behaves just like any other IP router.
Basic IP routing configuration consists of adding IP addresses and enabling

IP routing.

For configuring the IP addresses, see chapter 7, "Configuring IP Addresses".
The rest of this chapter describes IP routing and how to configure it in more
detail. Use the information in this chapter if you need to change some of the
IP parameters from their default values or you want to view configuration
information or statistics.

IP Interfaces

On the routing switches, IP addresses are associated with individual VLANs.
By default, there is a single VLAN (Default_VLAN) on the routing switch. In
that configuration, a single IP address serves as the management access
address for the entire device. If routing is enabled on the routing switch, the
IP address on the single VLAN also acts as the routing interface.
Each IP address range on a routing switch must be in single sub-net. A VLAN
interface can only exist in a single sub-net. For example, you can configure IP
addresses 192.200.200.0/24 and 200.168.2.0/24 on the same routing switch, but
you cannot add 192.200.200.1 on the same routing switch. The address
192.200.200.1 is in the address range 192.200.200.0/24 and so is know to exist
on that interface and can not be duplicated on a second interface.
You can configure multiple IP subnets on the same VLAN. This is commonly
know as multi-netting The number of IP subnets you can multi-net on an
individual VLAN interface is 8.
You can use any of the IP addresses you configure on the routing switch for
Telnet, Web management, or SNMP access, as well as for routing.
