The indication of whether this entity is acting as an IP router in respect to the forwarding of datagrams received by, but not addressed to, this entity. If this entity is acting as a router, this object also indicates what type of forwarding is in effect. The value of this object is originally determined by the TCP/IP Profile ASSORTEDPARMS or IPCONFIG statements. A value of notForwarding(1) indicates that this entity is not forwarding datagrams. A value of forwardingNoMultipath(2) indicates that this entity is forwarding datagrams using the first available route. A value of forwardingMultipathPkt(3) indicates that this entity, when forwarding datagrams, will select a route on a round-robin basis from a multipath routing list. This object is related to the ipForwarding object from RFC2011. If ipForwarding is set to notForwarding, this object will also be set to notForwarding. If ipForwarding is set to forwarding, this object will be set to forwardingNoMultipath. If the value of this MIB object is changed, the value of ipForwarding will be changed accordingly.
