Chapter 5
Configuring Base Layer 3
and Enabling Routing Protocols
The Layer 2 with Base Layer 3 software image contains all the system-level features in the Layer 2 images, along
with the following:
•
Static IP routes
•
RIPv1 and RIPv2 (see note, below)
•
Routing between directly connected subnets
•
RIP advertisements of the directly connected subnets
NOTE:
•
Layer 2 with Base Layer 3 images provide static RIP support. The device does not learn RIP routes from
other Layer 3 devices. However, the device does advertise directly connected routes. Foundry Networks
recommends that you deploy these devices only at the edge of your network, since incoming traffic can learn
directly-connected routes advertised by the Foundry device, but outgoing traffic to other devices must use
statically configured or default routes.
•
The Base Layer 3 images do not support IP multicasting, OSPF, or BGP4.
•
The Base Layer 3 images do not support protocol VLANs.
•
FWSX devices are Layer 2 switches only. They do not support Base Layer 3 and full Layer 3 features.
The procedures in this chapter describe how to perform the tasks listed in Table 5.1.
