Variable definitions

Use the information in the following table to help you configure IP routing at the switch level.

Variable Value
Forwarding Indicates whether routing is enabled (forwarding) or disabled (not-forwarding) on the switch.
DefaultTTL Indicates the default time-to-live (TTL) value for a routed packet. TTL is the maximum number of seconds elapsed before a packet is discarded. The value is inserted in the TTL field of the IP header of datagrams when one is not supplied by the transport layer protocol.
The TTL field is also reduced by one each time the packet passes through a router.
Range is 1–255. Default value is 64 seconds.
ReasmTimeout Indicates the maximum number of seconds that received fragments are held while they await reassembly at this entity. Default value is 60 seconds.
ARPLifeTime Specifies the lifetime (in minutes) of an ARP entry within the system. Range is 5–360. Default value is 360 minutes.
Maximum number
of routes
Specifies the maximum number of route entries.
  • Local—specifies the maximum number of local routes. Values range from 2–256.
  • Static—specifies the maximum number of static routes. Values range from 0–256.
  • Total—indicates the maximum sum of local, static, and dynamic routes allowed.

Attention

If you increase the combined maximum totals of local and static routes, the total number of available dynamic routes is decreased. You can decrease the total number of available dynamic routes only when IP routing is disabled.

Current allocated
routes

Specifies the number of route entries currently allocated for the switch.

  • Local—specifies the number of local routes allocated for the switch.
  • Static—specifies the number of static routes allocated for the switch.
  • Total—specifies the combined number of local and static routes allocated for the switch.
