Table 3 IP global parameters for routing switches (continued)
Parameter
Directed broadcast
forwarding
ICMP Router Discovery
Protocol (IRDP)
Static route
Default network route
Description
a packet can pass before
being discarded. Each
router decreases a packet's
TTL by 1 before forwarding
the packet. If decreasing the
TTL causes the TTL to be 0,
the router drops the packet
instead of forwarding it.
A directed broadcast is a
packet containing all ones
(or in some cases, all zeros)
in the host portion of the
destination IP address.
When a router forwards
such a broadcast, it sends a
copy of the packet out each
of its enabled IP interfaces.
NOTE: You also can
enable or disable this
parameter on an individual
interface basis. See Table 4
(page 41).
An IP protocol that a router
can use to advertise the IP
addresses of its router
interfaces to directly
attached hosts. You can
enable or disable the
protocol at the Global CLI
Config level.
You also can enable or
disable IRDP and configure
the following protocol
parameters on an individual
VLAN interface basis at the
VLAN Interface CLI Config
level.

0.0.0.0/0) as a static route
in the IP route table.
