Routing
326
M6100, M5300, and M7100 Series Managed Switches
8. Use Routing Mode to select Enable or Disable.
You must enable routing for the switch before you can route through any of the interfaces.
The default value is Disable.
9. Use ICMP Echo Replies to select Enable or Disable.
If you select Enable, then only the router can send ECHO replies. By default ICMP Echo
Replies are sent for echo requests.
10. Use ICMP Redirects to select Enable or Disable.
If this is enabled globally and on an interface level, then only the router can send ICMP
Redirects.
11. Use ICMP Rate Limit Interval to control the ICMP error packets by specifying the number
of ICMP error packets that are allowed per burst interval.
By default, the rate limit is 100 packets/sec (the burst interval is 1000 msec). To disable
ICMP Rate limiting, set this field to 0. The valid rate Interval is from 0 to 2147483647.
12. Use ICMP Rate Limit Burst Size to control the ICMP error packets by specifying the
number of ICMP error packets that are allowed per burst interval.
By default, burst size is 100 packets. When the burst interval is 0, then configuring this
field is not a valid operation. The valid burst size range is 1 to 200.
13. Use Select to configure Global Default Gateway to edit the Global Default Gateway field.
14. Use Global Default Gateway to set the global default gateway to the manually configured
value. A default gateway configured with this command is more preferred than a default
gateway learned from a DHCP server. Only one default gateway can be configured. If you
invoke this command multiple times, each command replaces the previous value.
The following table describes the nonconfigurable information displayed on the screen.
Table 123. Routing IP Configuration
Field Description
Default Time to Live The default value inserted into the Time-To-Live field of the IP header of
datagrams originated by the switch, if a TTL value is not supplied by the
transport layer protocol.
Maximum Next Hops The maximum number of hops supported by the switch. This is a
compile-time constant.
Maximum Routes The maximum number of routes (routing table size) supported by the
switch. This is a compile-time constant.
