IP Routing Overview

The PowerConnect M6220, M6348, M8024, and M8024-k switches are

multilayer switches that support static and dynamic routing. Table 33-1

describes some of the general routing features that you can configure on the

switch.

Feature Description

ICMP message control You can configure the type of ICMP messages that

the switch responds to as well as the rate limit and

burst size.

Default gateway The switch supports a single default gateway. A

manually configured default gateway is more

preferable than a default gateway learned from a

DHCP server.
