Configuring IP Unicast Routing
This chapter describes how to configure IP Version 4 (IPv4) unicast routing on the switch. The switch
supports basic routing functions, including static routing and the Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

Note
When configuring routing parameters on the switch and to allocate system resources to maximize the
number of unicast routes allowed, you can use the
sdm prefer routing
global configuration command
to set the Switch Database Management (sdm) feature to the routing template.
For more information on
the SDM templates, see
Chapter 6, “Configuring SDM Templates”
or see the
sdm prefer
command in
the command reference for this release.
Understanding IP Routing
In some network environments, VLANs are associated with individual networks or subnetworks. In an
IP network, each subnetwork is mapped to an individual VLAN. Configuring VLANs helps control the
size of the broadcast domain and keeps local traffic local. However, network devices in different VLANs
