Field
Details window – If you select an interface and click Details, the Details window opens and displays the following additional routing
information for the selected interface:
Routing Mode
Link Speed Data Rate
IP Address Configuration
Method
Bandwidth
Encapsulation Type
Forward Net Directed
Broadcasts
Local Proxy ARP
Destination Unreachables
ICMP Redirects
Use the buttons to perform the following tasks:
• To edit an interface's routing configuration, select the interface and click Edit. The display changes to
the Routing IP Interface Configuration page; for instructions on using this page, see "Routing IP Interface
Configuration" on page 195.
• To view detailed routing information on an interface, select the interface's entry and click Details.
• Click Refresh to refresh the page with the most current data from the switch.
To retain the changes across the switch's next power cycle, click System > Configuration Storage > Save.

Routing IP Interface Summary Fields (Continued)
Description
Indicates whether routing is administratively Enabled or Disabled on the interface.
The physical link data rate of the interface.
The source of the IP address, which is one of the following:
• None The interface does not have an IP address.
• Manual The IP address has been statically configured by an administrator.
• DHCP The IP address has been learned dynamically through DHCP. If the method is DHCP but the
interface does not have an IP address, the interface is unable to acquire an address from a network
DHCP server.
The configured bandwidth on this interface. This setting communicates the speed of the interface to
higher-level protocols.
The link layer encapsulation type for packets transmitted from the interface, which can be either
Ethernet or SNAP.
Indicates how the interface handles network-directed broadcast packets. A network-directed
broadcast is a broadcast directed to a specific subnet. The possible values are as follows:
• Enabled Network directed broadcasts are forwarded.
• Disabled Network directed broadcasts are dropped.
Indicates whether local proxy ARP is Enabled or Disabled on the interface. When local proxy ARP is
enabled, the interface can respond to an ARP request for a host other than itself. Unlike proxy ARP,
local proxy ARP allows the interface to respond to ARP requests for a host that is on the same subnet
as the host that sent the ARP request. This feature is useful when a host is not permitted to reply to
an ARP request from another host in the same subnet, for example when using the protected ports
feature.
Displays Enabled if the interface is allowed to send ICMP Destination Unreachable message to a host
if the intended destination cannot be reached for some reason. If the field displays Disabled, this
interface will not send ICMP Destination Unreachable messages to inform the host about the error in
reaching the intended destination.
Displays Enabled if the interface is allowed to send ICMP Redirect messages; otherwise, displays
Disabled. The device sends an ICMP Redirect message on an interface only if ICMP Redirects are
enabled both globally and on the interface. An ICMP Redirect message notifies a host when a better
route to a particular destination is available on the network segment.
