dialog box.
Table 6-15. IP Global Configuration Parameters
Parameter
Allows you to...
IP Unicast 
Forwarding
Disable IP Unicast Forwarding. Must be enabled for Unicast 
Forwarding. The default setting is Enable.
IP Multicast 
Forwarding
Enable IP multicast forwarding on a global basis. Must be 
enabled for Multicast Routing or Forwarding. The default setting 
is Disable.
IP Source Routing
Disable IP source routing globally. The default setting is Enable.
VRRP
Disable VRRP globally. The default setting is Enable.
BOOTP/DHCP 
Relay Agent
Enable Client requests for an IP address and forwards their 
requests to a server. This agent also relays responses from the 
server to the client. The default setting is Disable.
BOOTP/DHCP 
Option 82-Circuit 
Info
Enable This sub-option 82 allows the sending of an agent-local 
identifier of the circuit (slot/physical port number) for a BootP/
DHCP client-to-server DHCP request. The default setting is 
Disabled.
BOOTP/DHCP
Option 82- Agent 
Info
Enable This sub-option 82 allows the Avaya Multiservice switch 
to send its IP address and System name along with the BootP/
DHCP client-to-server request. The Default setting is Disabled
Limit Proxy ARP to 
Same Network
Enable Proxy ARP on the same network. When enabled, the 
router responds to ARP requests when the source and target IP 
address are in the same IP network and different IP subnets. 
When disabled, the router responds to ARP requests when the 
source and target IP address are in different networks. 
The default setting is Disable.
Use Default Route 
for Proxy ARPs
Disable the use of the default route on your switch as the route 
for Proxy ARPs. For example, if you have a default route 
configured to reach the 0.0.0.0 IP address, then any ARP request 
that does not match any of the other routes in your IP routing 
table will automatically go to this default route. The default 
setting is Enable.
Maximum Number 
of Routes
Enter the maximum number of routes that you want added to 
the routing table. The default number of routes is 16384.
Note: These routes refer only to IP Unicast entries.
Maximum Number 
of ARP Cache 
Entries
Enter the maximum number of ARP cache entries. ARP entries 
refers to the space available for the IP address table. When you 
increase the number of entries, it may cause the table to be 
relearned more frequently. Consequently, it will make address 
space usage more efficient. The default maximum number of 
entries is 16384.
