Preparing the Device for Router Mode
Configuring VLANs for IP Routing
Matrix E1 Series (1G58x-09 and 1H582-xx) Configuration Guide 3-93
3.3.2 Configuring VLANs for IP Routing
Before you can use the Matrix E1 device for IP routing, you must dedicate two or more VLANs as
IP routing uplinks. To do this, you must
1. Disable Spanning Tree on the ports to be dedicated as routing uplinks.
2. Create new VLANs from these dedicated ports.
3. Disable GVRP on the dedicated ports.
4. In router mode, assign IP addresses to the new VLANs, enable them for IP routing, and save the
routing configuration to NVRAM.
The commands needed for this process are listed in Table 3-9, and are described in the associated
sections as shown.
