8.2.3.2 Managing IP Interfaces

Configuring IP

Use this menu to configure routing parameters for the switch as opposed to an interface.

Configurable Data

Routing Mode - Select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. You must enable routing for the
switch before you can route through any of the interfaces. The default value is disable.

IP Forwarding Mode - Select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. This enables or disables the
forwarding of IP frames. The default value is enable.

Non-Configurable Data

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.

Command Buttons

Submit - Update the switch with the values on this screen. If you want the switch to retain the new
values across a power cycle, you must perform a save.
