Configuring IP Unicast Routing
This chapter describes how to configure IP Version 4 (IPv4) unicast routing on the Catalyst 3750-X
or 3560-X switch.
Note Routing is not supported on switches running the LAN base feature set.
Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a Catalyst 3750-X or 3560-X standalone switch and to
a Catalyst 3750-X switch stack. A switch stack operates and appears as a single router to the rest of the
routers in the network. Basic routing functions, including static routing and the Routing Information
Protocol (RIP), are available with both the IP base feature set and the IP services feature set. To use
advanced routing features and other routing protocols, you must have the IP services feature set enabled
on the standalone switch or on the stack master.
Note If the switch or switch stack is running the IP services feature set, 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 43, “Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing.”
For more detailed IP unicast configuration information, see the Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide,
Release 12.2. For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this chapter, see
