5.6 Configuring a null interface
5.6.1 Establishing the configuration task
Applicable environment
The Null interface is like the null devices supported by certain operating systems. All packets,
which are sent to the Null interface, are dropped. The system creates a Null interface NULL0.
Since all packets sent to the Null interface are dropped, you can directly send packets to be
filtered out to the Null interface. In this case, you need not configure an ACL.
For example, using the following command discards all packets that are sent to the
192.101.0.0 network segment.
[Nortel] ip route-static 192.101.0.0 255.255.0.0 null 0
