IP Routing Configuration and Management

This chapter describes the configuration and management of IP routing in the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series. IP Routing configuration is accomplished through the Command Line Interface (CLI), Web-based Management Interface, or the Java Device Manager (JDM).

This chapter contains the following topics:

"IP routing initial configuration" (page 51)

"IP routing configuration examples" (page 120)

"IP routing configuration using the Java Device Manager" (page 206)

IP routing initial configuration

This section provides step by step instructions for the initial configuration of the IP routing protocols supported by the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series. For conceptual information about IP routing topics covered in this section, refer to "An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols" (page 13). This section contains the following topics:

"Global IP routing configuration" (page 51)

"Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) initial configuration" (page 52)

This chapter also contains in-depth configuration examples that can aid in the advanced configuration of the switch. Refer to "IP routing configuration examples" (page 120)for these advanced examples.

Global IP routing configuration

Before IP routing configuration can take place, IP routing must be globally enabled on the switch. Use the set of commands outlined below to enter the Global Configuration mode of the switch and enable IP routing.

5530-24TFD# enable

5530-24TFD# config terminal

5530-24TFD(config)# ip routing
