IP

System configuration commands

set system ip disable-forwarding

Use this command to disable IPv4 forwarding on all interfaces.

set system ip disable-directed-broadcast

Use this command to disable IPv4 directed broadcast forwarding on all interfaces.

If set, IPv4 directed broadcast forwarding will be completely disabled regardless of whether per-interface directed broadcast forwarding is enabled or not.

set system ip arp table-size <number>

Use this command to define the maximum number of entries to keep in the ARP cache (1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768).

set system ip multipath layer4-hashing

Use this command to use Layer 4 information for IPv4 ECMP hashing.

Zebra/Kernel route filtering

Zebra supports prefix-lists and Route Maps to match routes received from other FRR components. The permit/deny facilities provided by these commands can be used to filter which routes zebra will install in the kernel.

set system ip protocol <protocol> route-map <route-map>

Apply a route-map filter to routes for the specified protocol. The following protocols can be used: any, babel, bgp, connected, eigrp, isis, kernel, ospf, rip, static, table

Note

If you choose any as the option that will cause all protocols that are sending routes to zebra.

Nexthop Tracking

Nexthop tracking resolve nexthops via the default route by default. This is enabled by default for a traditional profile of FRR which we use. It and can be disabled if you do not want to e.g. allow BGP to peer across the default route.

set system ip nht no-resolve-via-default

Do not allow IPv4 nexthop tracking to resolve via the default route. This parameter is configured per-VRF, so the command is also available in the VRF subnode.
