Displays...
The Time-To-Live (TTL) for IP packets. The TTL specifies the maximum
number of router hops a packet can travel before reaching the device. If the
packet's TTL value is higher than the value specified in this field, the
Brocade router drops the packet.
To change the maximum TTL, refer to
page 186.
The ARP aging period. This parameter specifies how many minutes an
inactive ARP entry remains in the ARP cache before the router ages out the
entry.
To change the ARP aging period, refer to
page 182.
The maximum number of hops away a BootP server can be located from the
Brocade router and still be used by the router's clients for network booting.
To change this value, refer to
BootP relay server"
The 32-bit number that uniquely identifies the Brocade router.
By default, the router ID is the numerically lowest IP interface configured on
the router. To change the router ID, refer to
page 174.
The IP-related protocols that are enabled on the router.
The IP-related protocols that are disabled on the router.
The row number of this entry in the IP route table.
The IP address of the route's destination.
The network mask for the IP address.
The IP address of the router interface to which the Brocade router sends
packets for the route.
The cost of the route. Usually, the metric represents the number of hops to
the destination.
The administrative distance of the route. The default administrative distance
for static IP routes in Brocade routers is 1.
To list the default administrative distances for all types of routes or to
change the administrative distance of a static route, refer to
administrative distances"
The policy number. This is the number you assigned the policy when you
configured it.
The action the router takes if a packet matches the comparison values in
the policy. The action can be one of the following:
•
deny – The router drops packets that match this policy.
•
permit – The router forwards packets that match this policy.
The source IP address the policy matches.
