IP Routing Addresses
For the Ethernet Interface
This information is defined by the user or your Network Administrator.
Ethernet IP Address (local LAN)
An Ethernet LAN IP address and subnet mask are required for the router’s local Ethernet LAN
connection.
Note:
An
Ethernet route
is usually defined when there are multiple routers on the Ethernet which
cannot exchange routing information between them. This feature is normally not used except in very
special circumstances.
For the WAN Interface
This information is defined by the Network Service Provider.
Source (Target/Local) WAN Port Address
If Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled, you must specify a source WAN IP address for the
WAN connection to the remote router if IP address negotiation under PPP does not provide one.
Check with your system administrator for details on whether the router must communicate in numbered
or unnumbered mode and what addresses are required.
Remote WAN Address
You may need to specify a remote WAN IP address for the WAN connection to the remote router
depending on IP address negotiation under PPP.
Check with your system administrator for details on whether the router must communicate in numbered
or unnumbered mode and what addresses are required.
TCP/IP Remote Routes
An IP route includes an IP address, subnet mask, and metric (a number representing the perceived cost in
reaching the remote network or station).
A
TCP/IP Default Route
should be designated in the routing table for all traffic that cannot be directed
to other specific routes.
You will need to define the default route to a remote router or, if required due to special circumstances,
define an Ethernet gateway. There can be only one default route specified.
