This Field...

Displays...

 

 

Global settings

 

 

 

ttl

The Time-To-Live (TTL) for IP packets. The TTL specifies the

 

maximum number of router hops a packet can travel before reaching

 

the HP routing switch. If the packet’s TTL value is higher than the

 

value specified in this field, the HP routing switch drops the packet.

 

To change the maximum TTL, see “Changing the TTL Threshold” on

 

page 6-32.

 

 

arp-age

The ARP aging period. This parameter specifies how many minutes

 

an inactive ARP entry remains in the ARP cache before the routing

 

switch ages out the entry.

 

To change the ARP aging period, see “Changing the ARP Aging

 

Period” on page 6-28.

 

 

bootp-relay-max-hops

The maximum number of hops away a BootP server can be located

 

from the HP routing switch and still be used by the routing switch’s

 

clients for network booting.

 

To change this value, see “Changing the Maximum Number of Hops

 

to a BootP Relay Server” on page 6-72.

 

 

router-id

The 32-bit number that uniquely identifies the HP routing switch.

 

By default, the router ID is the numerically lowest IP interface

 

configured on the routing switch. To change the router ID, see

 

“Changing the Router ID” on page 6-25.

 

 

enabled

The IP-related protocols that are enabled on the routing switch.

 

 

disabled

The IP-related protocols that are disabled on the routing switch.

 

 

Static routes

 

 

 

Index

The row number of this entry in the IP route table.

 

 

IP Address

The IP address of the route’s destination.

 

 

Subnet Mask

The network mask for the IP address.

 

 

Next Hop Router

The IP address of the router interface to which the HP routing switch

 

sends packets for the route.

 

 

Metric

The cost of the route. Usually, the metric represents the number of

 

hops to the destination.

 

 

Distance

The administrative distance of the route. The default administrative

 

distance for static IP routes in HP routing switches is 1.

 

To list the default administrative distances for all types of routes or to

 

change the administrative distance of a static route, see “Changing

 

Administrative Distances” on page 10-30.
