Configuring IP Unicast Routing
This chapter describes how to configure IP Version 4 (IPv4) unicast routing on the Catalyst 3560 switch.
Basic routing functions, including static routing and the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), are
available with both the IP base image (formerly known as the standard multilayer image [SMI]) and the
IP services image (formerly known as the enhanced multilayer image [EMI]). To use advanced routing
features and other routing protocols, you must have the IP services image installed on the switch.
Note If the switch is running the IP services image, you can also enable IP Version 6 (IPv6) unicast routing
and configure interfaces to forward IPv6 traffic in addition to IPv4 traffic. For information about
configuring IPv6 on the switch, see Chapter 37, “Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing.”
For more detailed IP unicast configuration information, see the Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide,

> Configuration Guides. For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this
