3. Enter the following:
• The name for the route in the Route Description field (1 to 80
characters).
Valid characters: Space ( ) * + - , . / 0 thru 9 and Aa thru Zz .
• The Destination network IP address and the number of bits in the
subnet mask (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy).
• The route Interface port (LAN or WAN). Note that the CDD-880 offers
a LAN interface only.
• The Next Hop IP address for to LAN routes. This address must be on
the local subnet.
The system administrator can supply this information, if necessary.
Note that no entry is needed for to WAN routes.
• The WAN Label value for passing traffic to a defined Remote
destination. This parameter appears for the CDM-800 modem only, and
provides support for WAN filtering in the CDM-840 receiver.
For non-broadcast addressing, the valid range for this value is from 1
to 2047.
For broadcast to all Remotes (multicast addressing), the label is
automatically set to 0 (zero); this allows all packets to pass.
Note: This label must match the label defined in the CDM-840 Remote
that corresponds to this route; if not, the packets will be dropped. See
the section “Network | WAN” on page 4-22.
• The selection of Header and/or Payload Compression is optional on a
per route basis for units that have a modulator (CDM-800, CDM-840).
