Configuring VE down time notification
Perform the following steps to configure the delay time for notifying the Layer 3 protocols of the VE down event.
1. From global configuration mode, enter VE interface configuration mode.
device(config)# interface ve 50
2. Configure the delay notifications time value.
device(config-vif-50)# delay-notifications 20
3. Use the
show ip interface ve
command to confirm the configuration.
The following example shows how to configure the delay time for notifying the Layer 3 protocols of the VE down event.
device(config)# interface ve 50
device(config-vif-50)# delay-notifications 20
Configuring forwarding parameters
The following configurable parameters control the forwarding behavior of Brocade Layer 3 switches:
•
Time-To-Live (TTL) threshold
•
Forwarding of directed broadcasts
•
Forwarding of source-routed packets
•
Ones-based and zero-based broadcasts
All these parameters are global and thus affect all IP interfaces configured on the Layer 3 switch.
Changing the TTL threshold
The time to live (TTL) threshold prevents routing loops by specifying the maximum number of router hops an IP packet originated by the
Layer 3 switch can travel through. Each device capable of forwarding IP that receives the packet decrements (decreases) the packet TTL
by one. If a device receives a packet with a TTL of 1 and reduces the TTL to zero, the device drops the packet.
The default value for the TTL threshold is 64. You can change the TTL threshold to a value from 1 through 255.
To modify the TTL threshold to 25, enter the
ip ttl
command.
device(config)# ip ttl 25
Syntax:
ip ttl
ttl-threshold
Enabling forwarding of directed broadcasts
A directed broadcast is an IP broadcast to all devices within a single directly-attached network or subnet. A net-directed broadcast goes
to all devices on a given network. A subnet-directed broadcast goes to all devices within a given subnet.
NOTE
A less common type, the all-subnets broadcast, goes to all directly-attached subnets. Forwarding for this broadcast type also is
supported, but most networks use IP multicasting instead of all-subnet broadcasting.
Forwarding for all types of IP directed broadcasts is disabled by default. You can enable forwarding for all types if needed. You cannot
enable forwarding for specific broadcast types.
