NOTE:
An Ethernet route is usually defined when there are multiple routers on the Ethernet
that cannot exchange routing information. This feature is only used in special
circumstances.
• For the WAN interface:
The following information is defined by your network service provider.
Source (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
network administrator for details on whether the router must
communicate in numbered or unnumbered mode and which 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 network administrator for details on whether
the router must communicate in numbered or unnumbered mode and
which addresses are required.
TCP/IP Remote Routes
An IP route includes an IP address, subnet mask, and metric (a number
representing the perceived cost to reach the remote network or station).
A TCP/IP Default Route
A default route should be designated in the routing table for all traffic that
cannot be directed to other specific routes. Define the default route to a
remote router or, in special circumstances, define an Ethernet gateway.
There can be only one default route specified.
