Chapter 18: General IP Routing
Configuring IP Routing Interfaces
– 631 –
To configure a default gateway for IPv4, use the static routing table as
described on page 639 , enter 0.0.0.0 for the IP address and subnet mask,
and then specify this switch itself or another router as the gateway. To
configure a gateway for IPv6, see “Configuring the IPv6 Default Gateway”
on page 591 .

These parameters are displayed:
• Host Name/IP Address – IPv4/IPv6 address or alias of the host.
For host name-to-IP address translation to function properly, host name
lookup must be enabled ( “Configuring General DNS Service
Parameters” on page 611 ), and one or more DNS servers specified (see
“Configuring a List of Name Servers” on page 613 , or “Configuring
Static DNS Host to Address Entries” on page 615 ).
• Probe Count – Number of packets to send. (Range: 1-16)
• Packet Size – Number of bytes in a packet. (IPV4: 32-512 bytes, IPV6:
0-1500 bytes)
The actual packet size will be eight bytes larger than the size specified
because the switch adds header information.

Use the ping command to see if another site on the network can be
reached.
•
The following are some results of the ping command:
•
Normal response - The normal response occurs in one to ten
seconds, depending on network traffic.
•
Destination does not respond - If the host does not respond, a
“timeout” appears in ten seconds.
•
Destination unreachable - The gateway for this destination indicates
that the destination is unreachable.
•
Network or host unreachable - The gateway found no corresponding
entry in the route table.
•
The same link-local address may be used by different interfaces/nodes
in different zones (RFC 4007). Therefore, when specifying a link-local
address, include zone-id information indicating the VLAN identifier after
