DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

Figure 6-23. Main Menu – Layer 3 IP Routing Mode

This is the Main Menu when the switch is in Layer 3 mode. Note that the configuration functions necessary for Layer 3 operation have been added to the same Main Menu entries used for Layer 2 mode. Layer 3 IP Networking entry has been added to allow the creation and editing of IP interfaces and the configuration of the RIP and OSPF routing protocols.

Switch Settings

The Switch Settings menu allows for various functions some of which are configured on different console screens to be enabled or disabled on the switch (globally), without altering the individual function’s configuration. Thus, the Distance-Vector Multicast Protocol (DVMRP) is configured from the Setup Layer 3 IP Networking console menu, but can be enabled or disabled from the Switch Settings menu without changing the DVMRP configuration entered in the DVMRP Interface Configuration menu. (The DVMRP configuration menu is access by highlighting Multicasting from the Main Menu, and then IP Multicasting Settings, and then DVMRP Interface Configuration).

Switch Mode Selection

Switch Settings also allows the switch operating mode to be set. Highlight Switch Settings from the Main Menu and press Enter. Then highlight Switch Operation Mode and press Enter.
