The IP performance configuration supported by S5600 Series Ethernet Switchesincludes:z Configuring TCP attributesz Enabling reception of directed broadcasts to a directly connected networkz Disabling ICMP to send error packetsIntroduction to FIBEvery switch stores a forwarding information base (FIB). FIB is used to store the forwarding informationof the switch and guide Layer 3 packet forwarding.You can know the forwarding information of the switch through the FIB table. Each FIB entry includes:destination address/mask length, next hop, current flag, timestamp, and outbound interface.When the switch is running normally, the contents of the FIB and the routing table are the same.Configuring IP PerformanceIP Performance Configuration Task ListComplete the following tasks to configure IP performance:Task RemarksConfiguring TCP Attributes OptionalEnabling Reception and Forwarding of Directed Broadcasts to a DirectlyConnected Network OptionalDisabling ICMP to Send Error Packets OptionalConfiguring TCP AttributesTCP optional parameters that can be configured include:
