Configuring Global IP Settings

The Routing > IP folder contains links to the following UI pages that configure and display IP routing data:
• "Routing IP Configuration" on page 191
• "Routing IP Interface Summary" on page 193
• "Routing IP Interface Configuration" on page 195
• "Routing IP Statistics" on page 197

Routing IP Configuration

Use the Routing IP Configuration page to configure global routing settings on the device. Routing provides
a means of transmitting IP packets between subnets on the network. Routing configuration is necessary
only if the device is used as a Layer-3 device that routes packets between subnets. If the device is used as a
Layer-2 device that handles switching only, it typically connects to an external Layer-3 device that handles
the routing functions; therefore, routing configuration is not required on the Layer-2 device.
To display the page, click Routing > IP > Configuration in the navigation menu.

Routing IP Configuration Fields
Description
The administrative mode of routing on the device. The options are as follows:
Enable
• The device can act as a Layer-3 device by routing packets between interfaces configured
for IP routing.
• Disable The device acts as a Layer-2 bridge and switches traffic between interfaces. The device
does not perform any internetwork routing.
Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down menu. If you select Enable, then only the router can send
ECHO replies. By default, ICMP Echo Replies are sent for echo requests.
Select this option to allow the device to send ICMP Redirect messages to hosts. An ICMP Redirect message
notifies a host when a better route to a particular destination is available on the network segment.
To control the ICMP error packets, you can specify the number of ICMP error packets that are allowed
per burst interval. By default, the rate limit is 100 packets per second, i.e. the burst interval is 1000
milliseconds. To disable ICMP rate limiting, set this field to zero. The valid rate interval range is 0 to
2147483647 milliseconds.
