Configuring IP Routing

This chapter describes how to configure routing on the switch, including 

global routing settings, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), router discovery, 

and static routes.
The topics covered in this chapter include:

• IP Routing Overview
• Default IP Routing Values
• Configuring IP Routing Features (Web)
• Configuring IP Routing Features (CLI)
• IP Routing Configuration Example

The Dell Networking series switches are multilayer switches that support 

static and dynamic routing. Table 33-1 describes some of the general routing 

features that you can configure on the switch.

ICMP message control

You can configure the type of ICMP messages that 

the switch responds to as well as the rate limit and 

burst size.

Default gateway

The switch supports a single default gateway. A 

manually configured default gateway is more 

preferable than a default gateway learned from a 

DHCP server.

ARP table

The switch maintains an ARP table that maps an 

IP address to a MAC address. You can create static 

ARP entries in the table and manage various ARP 

table settings such as the aging time of 

dynamically-learned entries.
