You can set the maximum hop count for a packet to be forwarded through the router. The range is 0 through 16. The default is 4.

To set the hop count limit:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip udpHelper hopCountLimit

2 Enter the BOOTP relay hop count limit.

You can set the maximum time limit that a packet is forwarded through the router. If you use 0 as threshold value, the router ignores the seconds field. If you use a non zero value, the router uses that value along with the hop count value to determine whether to forward the UDP packet.

To set the BOOTP relay threshold:

1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip udpHelper threshold

2Enter the BOOTP relay threshold value.

You can control whether the system forwards or discards IP packets addressed to other hosts. When you enable IP routing, the switching module acts as a normal IP router, forwarding IP packets from one subnet to another when required. When you disable IP routing, the system discards any IP packets not addressed directly to one of its defined IP interfaces.

By default, IP routing is disabled on the system.

To enable or disable IP routing:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip routing

2Enter the IP routing state (enable or disable).
