Modify an IP configuration

Configure the characteristics of the instance of IP running on this virtual router. Each vRouter supports a single instance of IP. IP is enabled by default. You can disable IP by using this command.

Modify all of the selected configurations at one time.

Arguments

Field Name	Description
ttl integer	Optional: Specifies the time-to-live value inserted into packet headers for all traffic originated within this IP instance. Valid values are from 1 to 255; the default setting is "64".
forwarding enumeration	The ability to forward traffic over IP interfaces on this vRouter. When enabled, the interfaces act as gateways, forwarding received traffic that is not destined for them. If disabled, any traffic destined for external destinations is dropped. Specifically: The system does not export routes via its routing protocols, but does learn them via routing protocols. IRDP is disabled. The system drops any IP frames that are not locally destined. Valid values: `enabled`, `disabled`
adminState enumeration	Optional: The administrative (manually configured) status of the interface. The default setting is "enabled". Valid values: `enabled`, `disabled`
eventFilter enumeration	Optional: The event filter level set for the interface. The default setting is "informational". Valid values: `emergency` : The system detected a serious problem; further operation can cause damage. `alert` : The system detected a problem that requires operator attention. `critical` : The system software detected a critical problem requiring a restart. `error` : The system detected a significant problem, but continues operating. `warning` : The system detected a problem, but was able to recover. `notice` : The system detected normal activity, but event was generated for review. `informational` : The system detected a normal operational activity. `debug` : The system detected normal operational activities and unexpected events.
linkUpDownTrap enumeration	Optional: Specifies if link up/down SNMP traps should be sent on the interface. The default setting is "enabled". Valid values: `enabled` : Link up/down trap enabled. `disabled` : Link up/down trap disabled.
packetTrace enumeration	Optional: The setting for the packet trace capability. When enabled, the system sends debug messages relating to packets moving through the system. Because of the large amount of data generated by setting this variable, you should only enable it when you want to debug your network by verifying where packets are going in the system. The default setting is "disabled". Valid values: `enabled`, `disabled`
description text	Optional: The text string you assigned to the interface. You can use this value to identify a interface name (for example, vlan.10) with a meaningful description. The default setting is "".

The system drops any IP frames that are not locally destined.

Valid values: enabled, disabled

adminState enumeration

Optional: The administrative (manually configured) status of the interface.

The default setting is "enabled".

Valid values: enabled, disabled

eventFilter enumeration

Optional: The event filter level set for the interface.

The default setting is "informational".

Valid values:

emergency : The system detected a serious problem; further operation can cause damage.
alert : The system detected a problem that requires operator attention.
critical : The system software detected a critical problem requiring a restart.

The default setting is "enabled".

Valid values:

enabled : Link up/down trap enabled.
disabled : Link up/down trap disabled.
