"ip routing" command on SG300 switch

[sbgoodwin]

What does "ip routing" do on the CLI on the SG300?

When I do this, I see it enables ip forwarding, but there is no mention of this in the CLI manual.  I'm just trying to figure out what I would use this for, and if I should leave it enabled, or disable it.

I have several different SG300 switches in L3 mode, and they are set up in a multi-vlan environment...

Thanks,

scott

Ip routing is for layer 3 mode. Ip routing is a toggle command for inter-subnet communication. It is pretty useful to have enabled.

Ah, ok, thanks. I guess that was pretty obvious, now that I know the answer.

The "ip routing" command isn't mentioned anywhere in the CLI documentation, but I guess if I'd thought about it a little longer, I may have come to the same conclusion.

Thanks Tom.
