Specifications

Chapter 8. Command Reference 243
If the router has two physical Ethernet interfaces (an Ethernet hub router), the port number (0 or
1) must be specified.
To specify a logical interface other than logical interface 0, specify both the port number and the
logical interface number (<port #>:<logical #>, for example, 0:1).
Example:
The following command decreases the MTU size for Ethernet interface 0:1 to 1400 bytes.
eth ip mtu 1400 0:1
ETH IP OPTIONS
RIP is a protocol used for exchanging IP routing information among routers. The following RIP options allow you
to set IP routing information protocol controls on the local Ethernet LAN. (See IP (RIP) Protocol Controls, on
page 81)
Note: This command requires a save and reboot before it takes effect.
eth ip options <option> on | off [<interface>]
option Must be one of the following:
rxrip Receive and process IP RIP-1 compatible and RIP-2 broadcast packets from the Ethernet LAN.
Also receive and process RIP-2 packets that are multicast as deÞned by the eth ip ripmulticast
command. Set this option if the local router is to discover route information from the Ethernet
LAN. The default is on.
rxrip1 Receive and process RIP-1 packets only.
rxrip2 Receive and process RIP-2 packets only.
rxdef Receive the default route address from the Ethernet LAN. The default is on. This option is
useful if you do not want to conÞgure your router with a default route.
txrip Transmit RIP-1 compatible broadcast packets and RIP-2 multicast packets over the Ethernet
LAN. The default is on.
txrip1 Transmit broadcast RIP-1 packets only.
txrip2 Transmit multicast RIP-2 packets only.
txdef/avdfr Advertise this router as the default router over the Ethernet LAN (provided it has a default
route). The default is on. Set this to off if another router on the local LAN is the default router.
interface Ethernet interface. This parameter may be omitted if the router has only one Ethernet interface.
If the router has two physical Ethernet interfaces (an Ethernet hub router), the port number (0 or
1) must be specified.
To specify a logical interface other than logical interface 0, specify both the port number and
the logical interface number (<port #>:<logical #>, for example, 0:1).
Example:
eth ip options avdfr off
