Dell C1048P Port Extender Networking Configuration Guide for the C9000 Series - Page 460

The system installs a next hop that is on the directly connected subnet of current IP address on the interface (for example, if interface gig 0/0 is on 172.31.5.0 subnet, the system installs the static route). The system also installs a next hop that is not on the directly connected subnet but which recursively resolves to a next hop on the interface's configured subnet. For example, if gig 0/0 has ip address on subnet 2.2.2.0 and if 172.31.5.43 recursively resolves to 2.2.2.0, the system installs the static route. • When the interface goes down, the system withdraws the route. • When the interface comes up, the system re-installs the route. • When the recursive resolution is "broken," the system withdraws the route. • When the recursive resolution is satisfied, the system re-installs the route. Configure Static Routes for the Management Interface When an IP address that a protocol uses and a static management route exists for the same prefix, the protocol route takes precedence over the static management route. To configure a static route for the management port, use the following command. • Assign a static route to point to the management interface or forwarding router. CONFIGURATION mode management route ip-address mask {forwarding-router-address | ManagementEthernet slot/port} Example of the show ip management-route Command To view the configured static routes for the management port, use the show ip management-route command in EXEC privilege mode.

This default setting provides some protection against denial of service (DoS) attacks. To enable the switch to receive directed broadcasts, use the following command. • Enable directed broadcast. INTERFACE mode ip directed-broadcast To view the configuration, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode. Resolution of Host Names Domain name service (DNS) maps host names to IP addresses. This feature simplifies commands such as Telnet and FTP by allowing you to enter a name instead of an IP address. Dynamic resolution of host names is disabled by default. Unless you enable the feature, the system resolves only host names entered into the host table with the ip host command. In a dual stack setup, the system sends both A ( for IPv4 - RFC 1035) and AAAA ( for IPv6 - RFC 3596) record requests to a DNS server even if you configure only the ip name-server command.
