Basic IP routing
Example of subnet routingPrior to configuring, you must be connected to the switch Command Line Interface (CLI) as the administrator.
NOTE: For details about accessing and using any of the menu commands described in this example, see the HP 10Gb Ethernet
1.Assign an IP address (or document the existing one) for each router and client workstation.
2.In the example topology, the following IP addresses are used:
Table 20 Subnet routing example: IP address assignments
Subnet | Devices | IP Addresses |
|
|
|
1 | Primary and Secondary Default Routers | 205.21.17.1 and 205.21.17.2 |
|
|
|
2 | First Floor Client Workstations | |
|
|
|
3 | Second Floor Client Workstations | |
|
|
|
4 | Common Servers | |
|
|
|
3.Assign an IP interface for each subnet attached to the switch.
4.Since there are four IP subnets connected to the switch, four IP interfaces are needed: Table 21 Subnet routing example: IP interface assignments
Interface | Devices | IP Interface Address |
|
|
|
IF 1 | Primary and Secondary Default Routers | 205.21.17.3 |
|
|
|
IF 2 | First Floor Client Workstations | 100.20.10.1 |
|
|
|
IF 3 | Second Floor Client Workstations | 131.15.15.1 |
|
|
|
IF 4 | Common Servers | 206.30.15.1 |
|
|
|
5.IP interfaces are configured using the following commands at the CLI:
>> # /cfg/l3/if | 1 | (Select IP interface 1) |
>> IP Interface | 1# addr 205.21.17.3 | (Assign IP address) |
>> IP Interface | 1# ena | (Enable IP interface 1) |
>> IP Interface | 1# ../if 2 | (Select IP interface 2) |
>> IP Interface | 2# addr 100.20.10.1 | (Assign IP address) |
>> IP Interface | 2# ena | (Enable IP interface 2) |
>> IP Interface | 2# ../if 3 | (Select IP interface 3) |
>> IP Interface | 3# addr 131.15.15.1 | (Assign IP address) |
>> IP Interface | 3# ena | (Enable IP interface 3) |
>> IP Interface | 3# ../if 4 | (Select IP interface 4) |
>> IP Interface | 4# addr 206.30.15.1 | (Assign IP address) |
>> IP Interface | 4# ena | (Enable IP interface 5) |
6.Set each server and workstation’s default gateway to the appropriate switch IP interface (the one in the same subnet as the server or workstation).
7.Configure the default gateways to the routers’ addresses.
