Configuring IP
December 2000
15 - 11
Time to Live
(TTL)
The maximum number of routers (hops) through
which a packet can pass before being discarded.
Each router decreases a packet’s TTL by 1 before
forwarding the packet. If decreasing the TTL causes
the TTL to be 0, the router drops the packet instead of
forwarding it.
64 hops
15-35
Directed
broadcast
forwarding
A directed broadcast is a packet containing all ones
(or in some cases, all zeros) in the host portion of the
destination IP address. When a router forwards such
a broadcast, it sends a copy of the packet out each of
its enabled IP interfaces.
Note
: You also can enable or disable this parameter
on an individual interface basis. See Table 15.2 on
page 15-14.
Disabled
15-35
Directed
broadcast mode
The packet format the router treats as a directed
broadcast. The following formats can be directed
broadcast:
•
All ones in the host portion of the packet’s
destination address.
•
All zeroes in the host portion of the packet’s
destination address.
All ones
Note
: If you enable
all-zeroes directed
broadcasts, all-ones
directed broadcasts
remain enabled.
15-37
Source-routed
packet
forwarding
A source-routed packet contains a list of IP addresses
through which the packet must pass to reach its
destination.
Enabled
15-36
ICMP Router
Discovery
Protocol (IRDP)
An IP protocol a router can use to advertise the IP
addresses of its router interfaces to directly attached
hosts. You can enable or disable the protocol, and
change the following protocol parameters:
•
Forwarding method (broadcast or multicast)
•
Hold time
•
Maximum advertisement interval
•
Minimum advertisement interval
•
Router preference level
Note
: You also can enable or disable IRDP and
configure the parameters on an individual interface
basis. See Table 15.2 on page 15-14.
Disabled
15-66
Reverse ARP
(RARP)
A IP mechanism a host can use to request an IP
address from a directly attached router when the host
boots.
Enabled
15-68
Static RARP
entries
An IP address you place in the RARP table for RARP
requests from hosts.
Note
: You must enter the RARP entries manually.
The Layer 3 Switch does not have a mechanism for
learning or dynamically generating RARP entries.
No entries
15-69
