Rewrite TTL value of a packet?

d.wingert · ‎01-04-2007

Hello,

Is there a way to rewrite the TTL value of a packet on a cisco router?

I am not asking about scoping here - I am actually searching for a way to increase the TTL value of a packet.

Regards, Dirk

are you looking to increase TTL for all packets or for specific packet?

chek this URL if you get some clue.

Hi Sourabh,

I need to increase the TTL of packets that I receive on one interface before they get send out another interface. Reason is that I have no way of increasing the TTL on the source.

Unfortunately, I don't think that your link provides a solution to this (the `ttl-ip` command is only for DNS related issues), but still thank you for you input!
