configure irdp [multicast | broadcast | <mininterval> <maxinterval>
<lifetime> <preference>]
Description
Configures the destination address of the router advertisement messages.
Syntax Description
Default
Broadcast (255.255.255.255). The default mininterval is 450.
Usage Guidelines
ICMP Router Discovery Protocol allows client machines to determine what default gateway address to
use. The switch will send out IP packets at the intervals specified identifying itself as a default router.
IRDP enabled client machines will use this information to determine which gateway address to use for
routing data packets to other networks.

The following command sets the address of the router advertiser messages to multicast:
