IP Routing Features

Overview of IP Routing

The switches covered in this guide offer IP static routing, supporting up to 16

static routes.

IP static routing is configurable through the switch’s console CLI.

This chapter refers the switch as a “routing switch”. When IP routing is enabled

on your switch, it behaves just like any other IP router.

Basic IP routing configuration consists of adding IP addresses and enabling

IP routing.

For configuring the IP addresses, see chapter 7, “Configuring IP Addresses”.

The rest of this chapter describes IP routing and how to configure it in more

detail. Use the information in this chapter if you need to change some of the

IP parameters from their default values or you want to view configuration

information or statistics.

IP Interfaces

On the ProCurve routing switches, IP addresses are associated with individual

VLANs. By default, there is a single VLAN (Default_VLAN) on the routing

switch. In that configuration, a single IP address serves as the management

access address for the entire routing switch. If routing is enabled on the

routing switch, the IP address on the single VLAN also acts as the routing

interface.

Each IP address range, specified by an IP address and a subnet mask or mask

bits, must be in a single subnet and must be configured on a single VLAN. For

example, if you configure the IP address range 192.200.200.0/24 on a VLAN on

the routing switch, you cannot add the address 192.200.200.1 to a different

VLAN on the same routing switch. The address 192.200.200.1 is in the address

range 192.200.200.0/24 and so is known to exist on that interface and cannot

be duplicated on a second VLAN interface.

You can configure multiple IP subnets on the same VLAN. This is commonly

known as multi-netting. The number of IP subnets you can configure on an

individual VLAN interface is 8.

You can use any of the IP addresses you configure on the routing switch for

Telnet, Web management, or SNMP access, as well as for routing.
