HP 2530-24G - ip routing command

[mininday]

Is this no longer a command on these switches?  Is it enabled by default?

This is layer 2 switch and doesnt support ip routing at all. So it is not enabled by default and cannot be enabled by a command.

From the product overview

http://pro-networking-h17007.external.hp.com/us/en/products/switches/HP_2530_Switch_Series/index.aspx

The HP 2530 Switch Series consists of four fully managed Layer 2 edge switches, delivering cost-effective, reliable, and secure connectivity for business networks. Designed for entry-level to midsize enterprise networks, these Gigabit Ethernet switches deliver full Layer 2 capabilities with enhanced access security, traffic prioritization, IPv6 host support, and optional PoE+, and include a product lifetime warranty.

Why can you put in routes into a routing table then?

[Emil_G]

This is a good question.

It doesnt make sense to me.

Maybe this command should configure different gateways for different destinatons of the management traffic of the switch itself.

Did you test what happens if you configure the switch as default gateway for clients, then configure static routes specifying next hop routers?

Is the traffic routed properly?
