Configuring IP Unicast Routing
This chapter describes how to configure IP Version 4 (IPv4) unicast routing on the Catalyst 3750 switch.
Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a standalone switch and a 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
image and the IP services image. To use advanced routing features and other routing protocols, you must
have the IP services image installed on the standalone switch or on the stack master.
Note If the switch stack 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 Chapter39, “Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing.”
For more detailed IP unicast configuration information, see the Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide,
