Disabling ICMP Redirects
You can disable ICMP redirects on the HP routing switch. only on a global
basis, for all the routing switch interfaces. To disable ICMP redirects globally,
enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:
HPswitch(config)# no ip icmp redirects
Syntax: [no] ip icmp redirects

Configuring Static IP Routes

The IP route table can receive routes from the following sources:
■ Directly-connected networks – When you add an IP VLAN interface,
the routing switch automatically creates a route for the network the
interface is in.
Statically configured route – You can add routes directly to the route
■
table. When you add a route to the IP route table, you are creating a static
IP route. This section describes how to add static routes to the IP route
table.
■ Default network route – This is a specific static route that the routing
switch uses if other routes to the destination are not available. See
"Configuring the Default Route" on page 16-16.

Static Route Types

You can configure the following types of static IP routes:
■ Standard – the static route consists of the destination network address
and network mask, and the IP address of the next-hop gateway. You can
configure multiple standard static routes with the same metric for load
sharing or with different metrics to provide a primary route and backup
routes.
Null (reject) – the static route consists of the destination network
■
address and network mask, and the reject parameter. Typically, the null
route is configured as a backup route for discarding traffic if the primary
route is unavailable.
