Changing the TTL threshold
The time to live (TTL) threshold prevents routing loops by specifying the maximum number of router hops an IP packet originated by the
Layer 2 switch can travel through. Each device capable of forwarding IP that receives the packet decrements (decreases) the packet TTL
by one. If a router receives a packet with a TTL of 1 and reduces the TTL to zero, the router drops the packet.
The default TTL is 64. You can change the
ttl-threshold
to a value from 1 through 255.
To modify the TTL threshold to 25, enter the following commands.
device(config)# ip ttl 25
device(config)# exit
Syntax:
ip ttl
ttl-threshold
