Hyperlinks
The IP window provides the following hyperlinks to the windows shown in
figure 29
. You can use these sub-
pages to view and modify the values of certain IP parameters:
•
TCP
—Clicking the TCP hyperlink displays the TCP window (see section
“TCP Overview main window”
on page 114).
•
Modify
—Clicking the Modify hyperlink displays the IP Forwarding sub-window where you can modify
the values of the IP forwarding and time-to-live parameters (see
“Modify IP Configuration window”
on
page 59).
•
Addressing Info
—Clicking the Addressing hyperlink displays the IP Addressing Overview sub-window.
This window (see
“IP Addressing Information window”
on page 61) displays each IP address and its associ-
ated 6511RC interface ID number, and a Details…. for each IP address. The Details hyperlink displays the
IP address Details sub-window for that IP address.
•
Routing Info
—Clicking the Routing Info hyperlink displays IP Routing Overview sub-window. This win-
dow displays the defined IP Routes table that the 6511RC uses to routing IP datagrams. For each route, the
table shows the IP address, subnet mask, next hop router, and interface) You can use this window to add IP
routes to the 6511RC’s routing table by defining IP routing parameters (see
“IP Routing Information win-
dow”
on page 62).
•
Address Translation Info
—Clicking the Address Translation hyperlink displays the IP address translation
sub-window where you can view and define the 6511RCs physical to logical (MAC to IP) address correla-
tions (mappings) (see
“Address Translation Information window”
on page 68).
IP parameters and statistics
The following sections describe the IP parameters and statistics displayed on the IP Overview main window.
Forwarding
The Forwarding parameter defines whether the 6511RC acts as an IP gateway in respect to the forwarding of
datagrams received by, but not addressed to the 6511RC. IP gateways forward datagrams. IP hosts do not for-
ward datagrams, except in the case when the host is the source of the datagram.
Note
For some managed nodes, this object may take on only a subset of the values
possible. Accordingly, it is appropriate for an agent to return a “badValue”
response if a management station attempts to change this object to an inap-
propriate value.
One of the following values may be defined for ipForwarding:
•
forwarding(1)
—acting as a gateway and will forward IP datagrams to other gateways
•
not-forwarding(2)
—not acting as a gateway so it will discard IP datagrams destined for other gateways
Default Time-To-Live
The default value inserted into the time-to-live field of the IP header of datagrams originated at the 6511RC,
whenever a TTL value is not supplied by the transport layer protocol.
