Chapter 38 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Enabling IP Unicast Routing
Enabling IP Unicast Routing
By default, the switch is in Layer 2 switching mode, and IP routing is disabled. To use the Layer 3
capabilities of the switch, you must enable IP routing.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable IP routing:
Use the no ip routing global configuration command to disable routing.
This example shows how to enable IP routing by using RIP as the routing protocol:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# ip routing
Switch(config)# router rip
Switch(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0
Switch(config-router)# end
You can now set parameters for the selected routing protocols as described in these sections:

Configuring RIP
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) for use in small,
homogeneous networks. It is a distance-vector routing protocol that uses broadcast User Datagram
Protocol (UDP) data packets to exchange routing information. You can find detailed information about
RIP in IP Routing Fundamentals, published by Cisco Press.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ip routing
Enable IP routing.
Step 3
router ip_routing_protocol
Specify an IP routing protocol. This step might include other
commands, such as specifying the networks to route with the
network (RIP) router configuration command. For information on
specific protocols, see sections later in this chapter and to the Cisco
IOS IP Configuration Guide, Release 12.2.
Note
The IP base feature set supports only RIP as a routing
protocol.
Step 4
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show running-config
Verify your entries.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
