usable addresses at the Hub as well as at the Remotes. For details on IP address-
ing, refer to Appendix A, "Network Addressing".
By putting the one route statement “Remotes 172.16.128.0/17 Wan to Sat” in
the TDM Hub modem, and by using the route statement “GW 0.0.0.0/0 Wan to
Sat” at each of the remote modems, the network will successfully route packets.
The remotes can then be sub-netted as class C networks or below. Additional
routers at the remotes can be added for unusually large sites, allowing an addi-
tional layer of NAT without requiring any more explicit routing within the
Vipersat Modem/Routers.
Refer to the CDD-564L Installation and Operation Manual for additional infor-
mation on entering routes.
Creating the Routes
The following procedure outlines the basic route structure that the target
CDD-56X will require for its role in the network. One of the key routes that
must be created is a gateway address for routing the data traffic that is received
by the unit.
1. From the Main Menu shown in figure 2-1, select Route Table by entering
R at the command prompt.
2. From the Configuring the Route Table screen shown in figure 2-7, enter
1 at the command prompt to set the first route that will define the default
gateway.
