7.5 SETTING DEFAULT GATEWAY AND INTERFACE
The Default Gateway is the IP address of the network connection (i.e.,
gateway or another external router) used in forwarding management
information from the EMM-E6 (e.g., SNMP traps) to a network
management station.
The Default Interface is the channel that the EMM-E6 uses to access the
Default Gateway. Make sure to set the Default interface to reflect the
correct interface channel for the Default Gateway.
Make sure to modify the Subnet Mask option in conjunction
with the Default Gateway option.
NOTE
The Default Gateway field will not allow itself to be modified
until a Default Interface has been correctly configured on the
EMM-E6.
