Selection Entry Description
Optionally: If entering a multicast address (224.0.0.0-239.255.255.255) as
the destination IP address, then the following parameters will be requested:
Route Multicast packets from Satellite to Ethernet? [y/n]
The option Allows user to specify if multicast packets that match the
provided IP address will be routed from the Satellite to Ethernet. “No”
means that the packets will be discarded.
Multicast Routes always have a subnet length of 32 and the next hop is
0.0.0.0 because it is not applicable.
Note: The IP Module does allow the specification of one and only one
default route. Destination IP = 0.0.0.0 Subnet Length = 0. The default route
can be defined to send traffic to an IP Address on the same subnet as the
Ethernet interface. This will cause all packets that do not match any other
route to be sent to the destination you have defined for further processing.
Base B Allows user to view up to 8 different routes per screen. To allow editing on
any of the 256 entries that can be defined, the user can select a base
address to control which 8 routes are displayed. For example, if the user
wants to edit Routes 32-40, then a Base value of 32 should be defined.
Delete Route D Specifies Route Name to delete.
Display P Displays all of the routes that are currently defined in the system. This will
include automatically generated routes that are provided to simplify
provisioning of the system.
The information displayed is:
• Route Name
• DestIP/SnetBits
• Next Hop
• HDLC Flags.
Downlink Mcast [RO] Shows Read Only status of Downlink Multicast as [Enabled] or
[Disabled]. This feature is enabled or disabled on the Administration
Feature Configuration page.
