Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide - Manual (Page 30)

Basic IP parameters and defaults - Layer 3 Switches
IP is enabled by default. The following IP-based protocols are all disabled by default:
• Routing protocols:
‐ Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
‐ Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
‐ Border Gateway Protocol version 4 (BGP4)
• Multicast protocols:
‐ Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP)
‐ Protocol Independent Multicast Dense (PIM-DM)
‐ Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse (PIM-SM)
• Router redundancy protocols:
‐ Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Extended (VRRP-E)
‐ Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
When parameter changes take effect
Most IP parameters described in this chapter are dynamic. They take effect immediately, as soon as
you enter the CLI command. You can verify that a dynamic change has taken effect by displaying the
running-config. To display the running-config, enter the show running-config or write terminal
command at any CLI prompt.
To save a configuration change permanently so that the change remains in effect following a system
reset or software reload, save the change to the startup-config file:
• To save configuration changes to the startup-config file, enter the write memory command from the
Privileged EXEC level of any configuration level of the CLI.
Changes to memory allocation require you to reload the software after you save the changes to the
startup-config file. When reloading the software is required to complete a configuration change
described in this chapter, the procedure that describes the configuration change includes a step for
reloading the software.
