Configuring IP

NOTE: To place a change to the high-performance mode into effect, you must reload the software after saving the change to the startup-config file.

USING THE CLI

To enable the high-performance mode, enter the following command:

HP9300(config)# ip high-perf

HP9300(config)# write memory

HP9300(config)# end

HP9300# reload

Syntax: [no] ip high-perf

To disable the high-performance mode, enter the following command:

HP9300(config)# no ip high-perf

HP9300(config)# write memory

HP9300(config)# end

HP9300# reload

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

You cannot configure this option using the Web management interface.

Enabling the Default-Route Aggregation Mode

By default, the IP forwarding cache of a routing switch contains a unique entry for each host destination of a default route. You can increase the cache’s capacity for default route entries by enabling the default-route aggregation mode. This option increases the cache’s capacity for default routes by aggregating forwarding information for multiple destinations into single default-route entries.

When you enable default route aggregation, the routing switch associates a network prefix length with each forwarding cache entry that is based on a default network route.

The routing switch reprograms the default route cache entries if external events cause a conflict between entries.

To configure the forwarding cache to aggregate entries for default route destinations, use the following CLI method.

NOTE: You do not need to reload the software to place a change to default-route aggregation into effect.

USING THE CLI

To enable the default-route aggregation mode, enter the following command:

HP9300(config)# ip dr-aggregate

Syntax: [no] ip dr-aggregate

To disable the default-route aggregation mode, enter the following command:

HP9300(config)# no ip dr-aggregate

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

You cannot configure this option using the Web management interface.

Displaying the Forwarding Cache Entries for Default Routes

To display the default route entries in the IP forwarding cache, use the following CLI method. This method enables you to display the default route entries without displaying other types of forwarding entries.

NOTE: To display other types of forwarding cache entries, see “Displaying the Forwarding Cache” on page 6-88.

USING THE CLI

To display the default route cache entries, enter the following command at any level of the CLI:
