Table 6-1 IP Configuration Quick Start

Task and Command Example

1.Configure an IP route for the CSS. You can configure a static route, default route, a blackhole route, or a firewall route. For example, to configure a static IP route, enter:

(config)# ip route 192.168.0.0 /16 192.167.1.1

2.(Optional) If you do not want the CSS to start an implicit service for the next hop of a static route, specify that no implicit service is established to the next hop of the static route. By default the CSS establishes an implicit service for the gateway address when a static route is defined.

(config)# ip no-implicit-service

3.(Optional) Enable box-to-box redundancy to provide chassis-level redundancy between two identically configured CSSs.

(config)# ip redundancy

4.(Optional) Set the equal-cost multipath (ECMP) selection algorithm and the preferred reverse egress path.

(config)# ip ecmp address

5.(Optional) Enable the CSS to forward subnet broadcast addressed frames.

(config)# ip subnet-broadcast

6.(Recommended) Display IP information for the CSS. For example, to display IP routing information, enter:

# show ip routes
