Command
Step 1
Switch# config t
Step 2
Switch(config)# interface vsan 1
Step 3
Switch (config-if)# ip address
10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
Step 4
Switch (config-if)# no shutdown
After creating the VSAN and configuring the IPv4 address, use the show interface vsan command to
verify the configuration:
sw-231-14# show interface vsan 1
vsan1 is up, line protocol is up
sw-231-14#

Enabling IPv4 Routing

To enable IPv4 routing, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch# config t
Step 2
Switch(config)# ip routing
Step 3
Switch(config) no ip routing
After enabling IPv4 routing, use the show ip routing to verify the configuration.
sw-231-14(config)# show ip routing
ip routing is enabled

Verifying Connectivity

To verify the connectivity, use the show ip route and ping commands.
sw-231-14# show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static
C 10.1.1.0/24 is directly connected, vsan1
sw-231-14# ping 10.1.1.2
