Static Routing Configuration

NOTE:

Enable IP routing function before using this feature, for details please refer to Configuring IP Routing.

In L2/L3, all routing entries will be configured to the ASIC switching chip if the outgoing VLAN-interface is link-up, and the outgoing physical port is learning.

Traffic that can be routed will have a route entry in the RIB and the ARP of the next hop; the outgoing interface should be link-up. The traffic will then be soft-routed (i.e., routed by the switch's CPU).

When the switch learns the MAC address of the next-hop, the switch will forward the traffic with the ASIC chip.

Configure static route:

admin@XorPlus# set vlans vlan-id 2
admin@XorPlus# set vlans vlan-id 3
admin@XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/1 family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id 2
admin@XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/2 family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id 3
admin@XorPlus# set vlans vlan-id 2 l3-interface vlan-2
admin@XorPlus# set vlans vlan-id 3 l3-interface vlan-3

With the show route forward-routeipv4 all command, all the route entries in the ASIC chip will be displayed. Following the show route table ipv4 unicastfinal command, all routes in the RIB of the kernel will be displayed.

Configure max-route-limit.

Before configuring max-route-limit, check the forward-route table:

admin@XorPlus# run show route forward-route ipv4 all

Note: The switch supports 12k ipv4 routes at most and 6k ipv6 routes at most. One ipv6 route is equal to two ipv4 routes. The directly-connected routes are not excepted to route limit.
