Basic IP parameters and defaults – Layer 3 Switches
Reverse ARP
(RARP)
An IP mechanism a host can use to request an IP
address from a directly attached router when the
host boots.
Enabled
Static RARP
entries
An IP address you place in the RARP table for RARP
requests from hosts.
NOTE: You must enter the RARP entries manually.
The Layer 3 Switch does not have a
mechanism for learning or dynamically
generating RARP entries.
No entries
Maximum
BootP relay
hops
The maximum number of hops away a BootP server
can be located from a router and still be used by the
router clients for network booting.
Four
Domain name
for Domain
Name Server
(DNS) resolver
A domain name (example: Brocade.router.com) you
can use in place of an IP address for certain
operations such as IP pings, trace routes, and Telnet
management connections to the router.
None configured
DNS default
gateway
addresses
A list of gateways attached to the router through
which clients attached to the router can reach DNSs.
None configured
IP load sharing
A feature that enables the router to balance traffic
to a specific destination across multiple equal-cost
paths.
NOTE: Load sharing is sometimes called Equal Cost
Multi Path (ECMP).
Enabled
Maximum IP
load sharing
paths
The maximum number of equal-cost paths across
which the Layer 3 Switch is allowed to distribute
traffic.
Four
Origination of
default routes
You can enable a router to originate default routes
for the following route exchange protocols, on an
individual protocol basis:
•
RIP
•
OSPF
•
BGP4
Disabled
Default network
route
The router uses the default network route if the IP
route table does not contain a route to the
destination and also does not contain an explicit
default route (0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 or 0.0.0.0/0).
None configured
Static route
An IP route you place in the IP route table.
No entries
Source
interface
The IP address the router uses as the source
address for Telnet, RADIUS, or TACACS/TACACS+
packets originated by the router. The router can
select the source address based on either of the
following:
•
The lowest-numbered IP address on the
interface the packet is sent on.
•
The lowest-numbered IP address on a specific
interface. The address is used as the source
for all packets of the specified type regardless
of interface the packet is sent on.
The lowest-numbered IP
address on the interface
the packet is sent on.
