Enable IP Routing

Stephan Pringle Monday, April 22, 2024

Did you know that Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series Switches will allow you to enable ip routing? They will, and you may see below how to enable the feature in the (CLI) Command Line Interface.

Switch>enable
Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)#sdm prefer lanbase-routing
Changes to the running SDM preferences have been stored, but cannot take effect
until the next reload.
Use ‘show sdm prefer‘ to see what SDM preference is currently active.
Switch(config)#do write
Switch(config)#do copy running-config startup-config
Switch(config)#do reload

The switch will now reload and then prompt you to hit the RETURN key, where you can continue with the following.

Switch>enable
Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)#ip routing

Note: The Catalyst 2960-S switch supports only the default and lanbase-routing templates.

enable
configure terminal
sdm prefer lanbase-routing
do write
do copy running-config startup-config
!
do reload
!
enable
configure terminal
ip routing
