enable ip-option loose-source-route
Description

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.
Default
Enabled.
Usage Guidelines
This enables the switch to forward IP packets that have the loose source route IP option (0x83) enabled.
Source routing is used when a sending host specifies the router interfaces that the packet must traverse
on it's way to it's destination.
When loose source routing is used, it means that the packet may traverse through other routers that lie
in between the designated router path.
With loose source routing enabled, the switch will forward IP packets with the loose source route option
enabled, if the switch's IP is in the designated list, or is not in the list.
Example
The following command enables processing of the loose source route IP option:
enable ip-option loose-source-route
