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.
