Configuring General IP Parameters
Use the IP Routing General window to set the internal IP address, router
ID, routing table size and reassembly buffer size.
Procedure:
Step |
Action |
1 |
Enter the internal IP address.
Note: It is recommended that you set the internal IP
address, because ping, traceroute, and tftp packets sent by the router use this address. |
2 |
Enter the router ID. The router ID
must match one of the configured IP interface addresses of the router. |
3 |
Enter the routing table size. Note: Setting the size too small causes dynamic
routing information to be discarded. Setting the size too large wastes router memory
resources. |
4 |
Enter the reassembly buffer size. |
5 |
Click Apply. |
Field Descriptions
Internal
IP Address |
This address (or the Router ID if this
address is not specified) is used as the source address in pings, traceroute and tftp
packets generated by the router. If neither the internal address or router ID is
specified, then the first configured IP address is used as the source address for ping,
traceroute and tftp packets. |
Router
ID |
This address must be one of the configured
IP addresses. If neither the internal address or router ID is specified, then the
first configured IP address is used as the source address for ping, traceroute and tftp
packets. This address is also used as the OSPF router ID as long as it matches an
OSPF interface address. |
Routing
Table Size |
Sets the size of the router's IP routing
table. The default size is 768 entries. Changing this field takes effect only
after a restart. |
Reassembly
Buffer Size |
Configures the size of the buffers that are
used for the reassembly of fragmented terminating IP packets. Changing this field
takes effect only after a restart. |
Configured
Addresses Available for Router ID |
Lists all the available configured IP
addresses and their associated Ifc numbers you can use. The router ID must use one
of these addresses. |
