l
The Gateway field of the static route entry allows users to either enter a Gateway IP
address or select a Network Interface.
l
All user-defined routes retained in the CPE memory, regardless if they are already in
the Routing Table, are displayed on the same Route Table page.
l
All user defined route entries kept in the CPE memory during run time are saved to
flash when the user chooses to save and reboot the CPE. When the CPE restarts, it
reloads all saved user-defined routes to the CPE memory and tries to apply to the
system.
l
A user-defined route entry is added to the Routing Table whenever the system
provides an environment that makes the route entry applicable. It is removed from
the Routing Table whenever the route entry becomes not applicable. e.g. If the route
entry’s Gateway is associated with a dynamic Network Interface but the connection
is not established, then the route entry does not appear in the Routing Table. When
that interface comes up later, the route entry is then added.
l
If the selected Network Interface is static or dynamic and the connection is already
up, then the route entry appears in the Routing Table immediately. If there is a
Gateway associated with the selected Network Interface, then that Gateway’s IP
address appears in the Gateway field of the route entry.
If the selected Network Interface is dynamic but the connection is not established,
then the route entry does not appear in the Routing Table. When the interface comes
up later, the route entry is then added.
6.4.1 System Default Gateway Configuration
The system-wide Default Gateway provides three options: Auto (default), User-selected
Network Interface, and None.
l
None: It allows you to choose to have no Default Gateway in the CPE.
l Auto (default): It allows you to enable the Router to automatically decide the Default
Gateway.
l User-selected Network Interface: It allows you to select a Network Interface from a
list (PVCs, PPP Sessions and LAN). This option allows you to associate the
system-wide Default Gateway to a Network Interface, static or dynamic, and
provides a way to fix the Default Gateway to a dynamic Network Interface before the
interface is established.
The options for this field are IP PVC0 ... IP PVC7, IP Ethernet 0, IP BridgeMux0,
and any PPP session that was created by the user.
l
Specify IP: It allows you to specify the IP address of the default gateway.
6.4.2 Route Configuration
Destination: It allows you to enter the remote network or host IP address for the static
routing.
Netmask: It allows you to enter the Subnet Mask for the static routing.
