Overview of IP Unicast Routing
The switch provides full layer 3, IP unicast routing. The switch dynamically builds and maintains a
routing table, and determines the best path for each of its static route entries.
Each host using the IP unicast routing functionality of the switch must have a unique IP address
assigned. In addition, the default gateway assigned to the host must be the IP address of the router
interface.
