Configuring IP Forwarding for CTP Bundles (CTP Menu)
There are two ways to set up
CTP bundles for IP forwarding:
- Direct drive—Packets are forwarded directly between
drivers on the local and remote CTP device. Use this method for simple
port-to-port configurations. We recommend that you use this method
with supervision from JTAC.
- Direct drive disabled—Packets are forwarded based
on information in the kernel’s IP stack.
Before you
begin:
- Disable the bundle before you modify the bundle options.
To configure IP forwarding for CTP bundles
using the CTP Menu:
- From the Main Menu, select 1) Bundle
Operations.
- Select 1) CTP.
- Select a bundle from the list.
If you select an active bundle, you are prompted to disable
the bundle before configuring it.
- Select 2) Config.
- Select 10) Advanced Options.
- Configure option 13 as described in Table 1.
Field | Function | Your Action |
---|
Disable direct drive | Specifies whether the CTP bundle uses direct drive or
IP tables to forward packets. If you are using route redundancy, port mirroring, or VLANs,
you must disable direct drive and use IP tables. | Select one: - YES—CTP uses the kernel’s IP stack to forward
packets.
- NO—CTP uses direct drive to forward packets.
