IGRP Configuration View


Use the IGRP Configuration View to set IGRP parameters for a switch gateway interface and coordinate routing throughout gateways.

Each IGRP enabled interface can further refine the operation of IGRP. For each interface it is possible to specify whether or not IGRP packets received via the specified interface will be ignored or processed.

Likewise it is possible to specify whether or not IGRP packets should be sent via the specified interface. The setting of the delay and bandwidth metrics for each interface are important for correct IGRP operation.

Use the Default Metrics fields to provide IGRP equivalent metrics to routes that come from other routing protocols and are redistributed into IGRP.

To present the IGRP Configuration View, click the IGRP link in the Routing Configuration section of the Config Tool main menu.


[Note] You must first enable IGRP on the Licenses for Iplilon Software View before the IGRP link displays in the Config Tool main menu.


The following figure shows an example of the IGRP Configuration View.



The following section describes the fields in the IGRP Configuration View.

Autonomous System Number (AS)
Specifies the autonomous system number for IGRP packets this node will accept and use. This parameter is required when IGRP is enabled. It is not necessary to use an officially registered autonomous system number to run IGRP, but if it is recommended if the organization has one. The update message is identified by this autonomous system number. Because each update is labeled, routers can be configured to pay attention only to the right one. Certain routers are configured to receive updates from several autonomous systems. They pass information between the systems in a controlled manner. At present, it is only possible to receive updates from a single autonomous system on a node. Maximum is 65,000.
Delay
Specifies the IGRP delay metric. The metric is in units of 10 microseconds (for example, 100 for 10Mbit Ethernet). The range of values is 0-0xffffff (hexadecimal).
Bandwidth
Specifies the IGRP bandwidth metric. The metric is in units of inverted bits per second scaled by a factor of 10000000 (for example, 1000 for 10Mbit Ethernet). The range of values is 0-0xffffff (hexadecimal).
Reliability
The range of values is 0-0xff (hexadecimal).
Load
The range of values is 0-0xff (hexadecimal).
MTU
The range of values is 0-0xffff (hexadecimal).
