Chapter 36 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring IP Addressing
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to increase spanning-tree-based flooding:
To disable this feature, use the no ip forward-protocol turbo-flood global configuration command.
Monitoring and Maintaining IP Addressing
When the contents of a particular cache, table, or database have become or are suspected to be invalid,
you can remove all its contents by using the clear privileged EXEC commands. Table 36-2 lists the
commands for clearing contents.
You can display specific statistics, such as the contents of IP routing tables, caches, and databases; the
reachability of nodes; and the routing path that packets are taking through the network. Table 36-3 lists
the privileged EXEC commands for displaying IP statistics.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode
Step 2 ip forward-protocol turbo-flood Use the spanning-tree database to speed up flooding of UDP datagrams.
Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 show running-config Verify your entry.
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entry in the configuration file.
Tab l e 36-2 Commands to Clear Caches, Tables, and Databases
Command Purpose
