3.3.4.3.5.1 Static routes
Before the firmware 5.2, it was only possible to configure a default gateway to reach a given destination node when not located on the eWON's
physical network.
This feature adds the ability to configure 3 additional entries in eWON's routing tables (static routes).
The eWON will forward packets using these routing entries when the IP packet destination matches one of the routing destination entries. The
default gateway if specified will only be used when no routing entry matches the destination.
Important: The route configuration is applied immediately when the update button is pushed. It is not required to reboot the eWON
to apply the routes modification.
note: The default gateway is NOT defined using these configuration variables (Ethernet Gateway is used instead).
Control Description
Static routes table
Destination & Mask
The destination IP address and the mask represent a range of addresses that must be routed
through a specific gateway.
ex: dest=192.168.1.0 & mask=255.255.255.0 correspond to the range of address between
192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.255
Gateway
This is the IP address of the gateway that must be used to route the range of address defined
by Destination/Mask.
Important: the Gateway address must be in the IP range of the eWON interface.
In other words, the Gateway must be accessible by the eWON.
For example if the IP address is 10.0.0.53/255.255.255.0, the gateway can be 10.0.0.254, but
it CANNOT be 192.168.1.1.
Hops
This is the number of hops to reach the destination using the given route. This parameter will
define the priority of the routes. The eWON local routes (routes that do not require the
emission of a packet through an interface) have a 0 hop metric. A route where the destination
can be reached through the interface has a 1 hop metric.
The higher the metric is, the lower the route's priority will be.
Clear (button) The clear button can be used to invalidate the route entry content and remove the route.
