Ip Redirects Enable - HP 6125XLG Command Reference Manual

Fragmentation and reassembling consume system resources, so set an appropriate MTU for an interface
to avoid fragmentation.
If an interface supports both the mtu and ip mtu commands, the device fragments a packet based on the
MTU set by the ip mtu command.
The MTU configured for an interface takes effect on only packets that are sent to the CPU for software
forwarding, including packets sent from or destined for this interface.
Examples
# Set the MTU of VLAN interface 100 to 1280 bytes.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 100
[Sysname-Vlan-interface100] ip mtu 1280

Usage guidelines
ICMP redirect packets simplify host management and enable hosts to gradually optimize its routing
table.
A host that has only one route destined to the default gateway sends all packets to the default gateway.
The default gateway sends an ICMP redirect packet to inform the host of a correct next hop by following
these rules:
The receiving and sending interfaces are the same.
•
• The selected route is not created or modified by any ICMP redirect packet.
The selected route is not destined for 0.0.0.0.
•
There is no source route option in the received packet.
•
Examples
# Enable sending ICMP redirect packets.
