This article explains how to enable routing on the 2401 VRTX IO Module
The 2401 supports static routing capabilities. It does not support routing protocols such as RIP, or OSPF.
To enable routing capabilities on the 2401 module for the VRTX, perform the following.
Note: Changing the mode from Layer 2, to Layer 2 + Static Routing, will force the switch to lose its configuration and need to be reconfigured. Be sure to save any configuration for reference if needed.
- Log into the CMC Web access using an IE browser
- Navigate to Chassis Overview > I/O Module Overview
- Click Launch I/O Module GUI
- Log into the 2401 Web GUI in Advanced mode
- Navigate to System > General > System routing Mode
- Drop down the menu to Layer 2 + Static Routing
- Click Apply to make the change and automatically reboot the I/O module.
The I/O module will then reboot and be under Layer 2 + Static Routing mode. Re-apply any configuration needed and add the static routes as desired.
