Procedure
To enable sending router advertisement broadcast messages on interface name , if this feature was
disabled
Mode
Interface
Command Purpose
Step 1 node (ctx-ip)[router]#interface
name
Selects interface name for ICMP message
processing configuration
Step 2 node (if-ip)[ name ]# icmp router-
discovery
Enables sending of router advertisement
broadcast messages
Example: Router Advertisement Broadcast Message
The following example shows how to enable sending router advertisement broadcast messages on IP
interface
lan . Use the following commands in IP context configuration mode.
SN(ctx-ip)[router]# interface lan
SN(if-ip)[lan]# icmp router-discovery
12.9 Defining the MTU of the Interface
All interfaces have a default MTU packet size. You can adjust the IP MTU size so that the SmartWare
application software will fragment any IP packet that exceeds the MTU set for an interface. The
default MTU packet size is set to 1500 for an interface.
Note: All devices on a physical medium must have the same protocol MTU in order to operate
accurately.
Procedure
To set the MTU packet size to size on interface name
Mode
Interface
Command Purpose
Step 1 node (ctx-ip)[router]#interface
name
Selects interface name for ICMP message
processing configuration
Step 2 node (if-ip)[ name ]#mtu size Sets the IP MTU packet size to size for the
interface name . A possible value for MTU packet
size has to be in the range from 48 to 1500.
Example: Defining the MTU of the Interface
The following example shows how to define the MTU of the IP interface lan to 1000. Use the
following commands in IP context configuration mode.
SN(ctx-ip)[router]# interface lan
SN(if-ip)[lan]# mtu 1000
