Configuring the default route
If no routes exist for the destination address of a packet, the Pipeline forwards the
packet to the default route. Most sites use the default route to specify a local IP
router (such as a UNIX host running the route daemon). This helps to offload
routing tasks to other devices.
Note:
If there is no default route, the Pipeline drops packets for which it has no
route. By default, the Pipeline uses the value you entered for the Rem Adr
parameter in the Configure profile as the default gateway.
To configure the default route:
1
Open the Ethernet > Static Rtes > Default profile.
The name of that profile is always Default, and its destination is always
0.0.0.0 (you cannot change these values).
2
Specify that the route should be added to the routing table.
Active=Yes
3
Specify the address of the router to use for packets with unknown
destinations.
For example:
Gateway=10.9.8.10
4
Specify a metric for this route.
For example:
Metric=1
5
Specify whether this route is private.
For example:
Private=Yes
This setting specifies that the Pipeline will not disclose the existence of the
route when queried by RIP or another routing protocol.
6
Close and save the Default profile.
