STATE COMMAND
You have to remember that, on some models, once configured, the Ethernet interface is always
available regardless of its operative status: the router always responds to possible requests arriving
on the IP address associated with the interface. In order to forbid these kinds of requests the
command is:
detect-link-state <interface-name>
3
The command applies to the eth0 interface for Imola LX models and to eth1 for all the others.
You don‟t need to use
detect-link-state if you have a Lan Splitted configuration.
The command apply on eth0 for router Imola LX and on eth1 for the others routers. It is not
necessary to use in case of a Lan Splitted (see the specific chapter).
