3750X static routing when running LAN base?

[mmoulson1]

Hi,

I have a stack of 2 x 3750X switches these are running 12.2(55)SE5. I needed to add some static IP routes and found that the ‘ip routing’ command is not supported. I came across a document that stated “On switches running the LAN base feature, static routing on VLANs is supported only with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE and later.” So I have upgraded to 12.2(58)SE2, but ‘ip routing’ is still not a valid command.

The release notes state:

“On the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X and 3750-X Series, it adds support for 16 static IPv4 routes in the LAN Base image.”

I have read other posts that talk about running the ‘sdm prefer routing’ command which I have done, but I am still unable to add any routes or run the ‘ip routing’ command.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Have you reloaded the device after changing the SDM template ?

Hi Alain,

Yes, it prompts you to reload after you issue the command but it still does not work.

Hi,

according to the configuration guide:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750x_3560x/software/release/12.2_58_se/configuration/guide/swiprout.html#wp1118518

"Static routing configuration is supported on the  LAN base image only with the default SDM template and only on SVI  interfaces. No routing protocols are supported. "

So no need to change sdm template and from following code snippet in this guide, no need to configure ip routing too.

Regards.

Hi Alain,

I think my Googling skills let me down! My colleague found the same page you did!

I think it was a combination of 12.2.55 and not the wrong SDM template. Not sure what post I found that said you need the routing template but that was clearly wrong!

Many thanks for your assistance.
