Basic IP parameters and defaults – Layer 3 Switches
Both methods allow you to filter packets based on Layer 3 and Layer 4 source and destination
information.
ACLs also provide great flexibility by providing the input to various other filtering mechanisms such
as route maps, which are used by BGP4.
IP access policies allow you to configure QoS based on sessions (Layer 4 traffic flows).
Only one of these filtering mechanisms can be enabled on a device at a time. Devices can store
forwarding information for both methods of filtering in the session table.

Basic IP parameters and defaults – Layer 3 Switches
IP is enabled by default. The following IP-based protocols are all disabled by default:
Routing protocols:
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) – refer to Chapter 22, “Configuring RIP”
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) – refer to Chapter 23, “Configuring OSPF Version 2 (IPv4)”
Multicast protocols:
Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) – refer to “Changing global IP multicast
parameters” on page 795
Protocol Independent Multicast Dense (PIM-DM) – refer to “PIM Dense” on page 798
Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse (PIM-SM) – refer to “PIM Sparse” on page 806
Router redundancy protocols:
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Extended (VRRP-E) – refer to Chapter 27, “Configuring
VRRP and VRRPE”.
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) – refer to Chapter 27, “Configuring VRRP and
VRRPE”.
The following tables list the Layer 3 Switch IP parameters, their default values, and where to find
configuration information.
NOTE
For information about parameters in other protocols based on IP, such as RIP, OSPF, and so on, refer
to the configuration chapters for those protocols.
When parameter changes take effect
Most IP parameters described in this chapter are dynamic. They take effect immediately, as soon
as you enter the CLI command. You can verify that a dynamic change has taken effect by
displaying the running-config. To display the running-config, enter the show running-config or write
terminal command at any CLI prompt.
To save a configuration change permanently so that the change remains in effect following a
system reset or software reload, save the change to the startup-config file:
To save configuration changes to the startup-config file, enter the write memory command
from the Privileged EXEC level of any configuration level of the CLI.
