Routing
For dial-out routing, you must have the proper routing entry on all hosts in your local network
that will communicate with the remote site. In the case of a Unix system, you must make an
entry similar to the following (please check your Unix manual for the proper syntax of the
route command):
For a single host at the remote site:
route add <remote-ip-addr> <IOLAN-ip-addr> 2
For multiple hosts at the remote site:
route add net <remote-net-addr> <IOLAN-ip-addr> 2
IOLAN+ will dial into another piece of hardware, log into that hardware and start a PPP
session. Then the local IOLAN+ will act as a router and forward all IP traffic destined outside
its local network. In other words, IOLAN+ will 'auto-dial' the Internet and act as the router. In
this example, the local network is: 206.131.227.0, the ISP’s network is: 206.189.134.0, the
ISP’s equipment that you are dialing into is another IOLAN+ (206.189.134.7) and the local
IOLAN+ is: 206.131.227.5. The IOLAN+ gateway entries look like this:
