Enabling IPv4 Routing

By default, the IPv4 routing feature is disabled in all switches.
To enable the IPv4 routing feature, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# ip routing
Step 3
switch(config)# no ip routing

Verifying the IPv4 Routing Configuration

Use the show ip routing command to verify the IPv4 routing configuration.
switch(config)# show ip routing
ip routing is enabled

IPFC Configuration Example

This section describe an example configuration for IPFC.
The example network has the following links:
•
•
Figure 5-3
IP address: 10.1.1.3
IP subnet: 255.0.0.0
The following steps show how to configure Switch_1 in the example network in
OL-19525-01,Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.2(1)
0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 errors, 0 multicast
0 packets output, 0 bytes, 0 errors, 0 dropped
Switch_1 is connected to the main network by the mgmt 0 interface and to the fabric by an ISL.
Switch_2 and Switch_3 are connected to the fabric by an ISL but are not connected to the main
network.
