DI-206 ISDN Remote Router
40 Configuration and
Management
•
Gateway – This is the adjacent next hop router, for which the
packets, arriving to this router with this destination IP address, will
be forwarded.
•
Hops – This is an associated RIP metric that may have its value set
between 1 and 15, inclusive. A metric value higher than 15 (such as
16) means that the network is unreachable.
•
Intf – This is the network interface containing the gateway that the
packets will be forwarded through.
•
State – This enables/disables a particular entry.
IP Static Route Examples
The IP Static Route Table shown in the IP Static Route screen above
has the first three entries configured for common implementations of
static routing.
The first entry assumes that ISDN1 has a connection to the Internet and
defines the default next hop router. If you use this router to connect to
the Internet it is very important that you create an entry here that defines
the default next hop router as your ISP. This configuration is also
commonly used when RIP exchanges with other Internet routers (on
ISDN1) are disabled.
The second entry shows how to configure static routes when there is
another router on the LAN. The IP Address shown (202.12.125.0) is
the network address for a branch office, for example. The Gateway
Address (210.172.23.1) is the IP address to the LAN port on another
router on the LAN that maintains an ISDN connection to the branch
office.
