Configure Static Routes For The Management Interface; Directed Broadcast - Dell Force10 MXL Blade Configuration Manual

• When an interface comes up, FTOS re-installs the route.
• When a recursive resolution is "broken," FTOS withdraws the route.
• When a recursive resolution is satisfied, FTOS re-installs the route.

Configure Static Routes for the Management Interface

When an IP address used by a protocol and a static management route exists for the same prefix, the
protocol route takes precedence over the static management route.
To configure a static route for the management port, use the following command in CONFIGURATION
mode:
Command Syntax
management route ip-address mask
{forwarding-router-address
ManagementEthernet slot/port}
To view the configured static routes for the management port, use the
in EXEC privilege mode

Directed Broadcast

By default, FTOS drops directed broadcast packets destined for an interface. This default setting provides
some protection against denial of service (DOS) attacks.
To enable FTOS to receive directed broadcasts, use the following command in INTERFACE mode:
Command Syntax
ip directed-broadcast
