Configuring IP Forwarding for CTP Bundles (CTPView)
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:
- Log in to the CTPView software at least at the Net_Admin
level.
- Connect the CTPView server to the CTP device for which
you want to configure bundles.
- Disable the bundle before you modify the bundle options.
To configure IP forwarding for CTP bundles
using CTPView:
- In the side pane, select Bundle > Configuration.
- Run your mouse over the Display and
Select an Existing Bundle bar.
- In the table of bundles, select the bundle that
you want to modify.
- Under Bundle Options, place a check mark in the Advanced Options show check box to display
advanced parameters, and configure the parameters described in Table 1.
- Click Click to Submit Bundle AND Port
Changes.

Forwarding Parameter Settings in CTPView
Field | Function | Your Action |
---|
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: - DISABLED—CTP uses the kernel’s IP stack to
forward packets.
- ENABLED—CTP uses direct drive to forward packets.
