Statistics
The Routing IP Statistics page displays information about the number and type of IP
packets sent and received by all interfaces on the device. The statistics on this page
are specified in RFC 1213.
IP Address
The IP address of the interface. This field can be configured only when
the selected IP Address Configuration Method is Manual. If the method
is DHCP, the interface attempts to lease an IP address from a DHCP
server on the network, and the IP address appears in this field (read-
only) after it is acquired. If this field is blank, the IP Address Configura-
tion Method might be None, or the method might be DHCP and the
interface is unable to lease an address.
Subnet Mask
The IP subnet mask for the interface (also known as the network mask
or netmask). This field can be configured only when the selected IP
Address Configuration Method is Manual.
MAC Address
The burned-in physical address of the interface. The format is six two-
digit hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, for example
00:06:29:32:81:40.
IP MTU
The largest IP packet size the interface can transmit, in bytes. The IP
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the maximum frame size minus
the length of the Layer 2 header.
Bandwidth
The configured bandwidth on this interface. This setting communicates
the speed of the interface to higher-level protocols.
Encapsulation Type The link layer encapsulation type for packets transmitted from the
interface, which can be either Ethernet or SNAP.
Forward Net
Directed Broadcasts
Determines how the interface handles network-directed broadcast
packets. A network-directed broadcast is a broadcast directed to a
specific subnet. If this option is selected, network directed broadcasts
are forwarded. If this option is clear, network directed broadcasts are
dropped.
Destination
Unreachables
When this option is selected, the interface is allowed to send ICMP
Destination Unreachable message to a host if the intended destination
cannot be reached for some reason. If this option is clear, the interface
will not send ICMP Destination Unreachable messages to inform the
host about the error in reaching the intended destination.
ICMP Redirects
When this option is selected, the interface is allowed to send ICMP
Redirect messages. The device sends an ICMP Redirect message on
an interface only if ICMP Redirects are enabled both globally and on
the interface. An ICMP Redirect message notifies a host when a better
route to a particular destination is available on the network segment.
Secondary IP
Address
To add a secondary IP address on the interface, click
button in the
header row and enter the address in the appropriate field in the Sec-
ondary IP Address Configuration window. You can add one or more
secondary IP addresses to an interface only if the interface already
has a primary IP address. To remove a configured secondary IP
address, click
button associated with the entry to remove. To
remove all configured secondary IP addresses, click
button in the
header row.
Secondary Subnet
Mask
The subnet mask associated with the secondary IP address. You con-
figure this field in the Secondary IP Address Configuration window.
