SLIP IP Address Definition (continued)
Edit: IP Address
You must select the Edit: IP Address radio button to define the network's IP address and
related parameters.
IP Version
SLIP only supports IPv4. Therefore, the IP version selection is not used.
Packet Forwarding
Select the type of packet forwarding that this network interface supports.
Disabled Forwarding of packets is not allowed on this interface.
Unicast only Support forwarding of IPv4 unicast packets.
Unicast + Dir. Broadcast Support forwarding of IPv4 unicast packets
and IPv4 directed broadcast packets.
IP Address
Enter the IP address of the network interface. This must be a unique, valid IP address
which can be used to identify the host computer attached to this network interface. Enter
0.0.0.0 if the network IP address is to be assigned at runtime.
Remote IP Address
Enter the IP address of the foreign host to which the SLIP network interface is to be
connected. Enter 0.0.0.0 if the remote IP address is to be assigned at runtime.
Default Gateway
Check this box if you want the IP address of the foreign host to which the SLIP network
interface is connected to be used as the default gateway. The default gateway will be set
after the SLIP network interface has been opened and successfully connected to its peer.
The default gateway is used to identify the network interface through which packets are
to be sent if the destination IP address is not otherwise known. Such packets will be sent
out this SLIP network interface using the remote peer as the default gateway.
There can only be one default gateway in the system. The first network interface to
successfully declare its gateway address as the default will be used as the gateway.
