IP-only version of the Pipeline. If no profile name is specified and Multicast
Forwarding is set to Yes, the Pipeline assumes that its Ethernet is the
Multicast interface.

Managing the routing table
The Pipeline routing table is created when the Pipeline powers up. (Which routes
are included and when is discussed in “Connection profiles and IP routes” on
page 2-8.) To manage the routing table, you can perform one or more of the
following tasks:
• Configure static routes in the IP Options of a Connection profile.
• Configure a default route for packets with an unknown destination.
• Turn off ICMP Redirects.
• Configure RIP-v1 or RIP-v2 on Ethernet.
• Turn off RIP on WAN connections.
• Assign a preference for RIP or static routes (known as route preferences).
• Display the routing table.
Parameters that affect the routing table
The list below shows parameters that affect the Pipeline IP routing table:

Mod Config
RIP Policy=Poison Rvrs (RIP-v1 only)
RIP Summary=Yes (RIP-v1 only)
ICMP Redirects=Accept
Adv Dialout Routes=Trunks Up
Note:
When more than one Pipeline is in use in redundant configurations
on the same network, you can use the Adv Dialout Routes parameter to
instruct the Pipeline to stop advertising IP routes that use dial services if its
trunks are in the alarm condition. If a redundant Pipeline loses its dialout
lines temporarily, and the Adv Dialout Routes parameter is set to Always,
that unit continues to receive outbound packets that should be forwarded to
