# Valid but Discarded

The number of routing entries which were chosen to be discarded even though they are valid. One possible
reason for discarding such an entry could be to make more buffer space available for other routing entries.
IP Configuration window
The IP Configuration window (see
IP Forwarding and Default Time-to-Live parameters for the T-DAC.
To display the IP Configuration window, on the IP Overview window (see

IP Configuration
The following sections describe the IP parameters displayed on the IP Configuration window.

Forwarding (ipForwarding)

Determines whether the T-DAC is acting as an IP gateway that will forward datagrams received by-but not
addressed to-the T-DAC. IP gateways forward datagrams, IP hosts do not (except those source-routed via
the host).
Note
The following options are available:
• forwarding(1)—acting as a gateway
• not-forwarding(2)—not acting as a gateway

Default Time-To-Live (ipDefaultTTL)

The default value inserted into the Time-To-Live (TTL) field in the IP header of datagrams originating from
the T-DAC, whenever a TTL value is not already supplied by the transport layer protocol.

Saving your work

Once you have defined your desired values for the configurable parameters shown in the IP Configuration win-
dow, you must click the Modify button to save the new values into volatile DRAM. Once you click the but-
ton, the T-DAC will implement the changes immediately.

For some managed nodes, this object may take on only a subset of the
values possible. Accordingly, it is appropriate for an agent to return a
"badValue" response if a management station attempts to change this
object to an inappropriate value.
