Basic IP routing 
This chapter provides configuration background and examples for using the HP 10GbE switch to perform  
IP routing functions. The following topics are addressed in this chapter:  
 
IP Routing Benefits 
 
Routing Between IP Subnets 
 
Example of Subnet Routing 
 
Defining IP Address Ranges for the Local Route Cache 
 
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol 
IP routing benefits 
The switch uses a combination of configurable IP switch interfaces and IP routing options. The switch IP 
routing capabilities provide the following benefits: 
 
Connects the server IP subnets to the rest of the backbone network. 
 
Provides another means to invisibly introduce Jumbo frame technology into the server-switched 
network by automatically fragmenting UDP Jumbo frames when routing to non-Jumbo frame VLANs 
or subnets.  
 
Provides the ability to route IP traffic between multiple Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) 
configured on the switch. 
Routing between IP subnets 
The physical layout of most corporate networks has evolved over time. Classic hub/router topologies  
have given way to faster switched topologies, particularly now that switches are increasingly intelligent. 
HP 10GbE switches are intelligent and fast enough to perform routing functions on a par with wire speed 
Layer 2 switching. 
The combination of faster routing and switching in a single device provides another service—it allows you 
to build versatile topologies that account for legacy configurations.
