IP Routing Entries
• For the Ethernet interface:
Ethernet IP Address (Local LAN)
An Ethernet LAN IP address and subnet mask are required for the
router’s local Ethernet LAN connection. This information is defined by the
user or your network administrator.
TCP/IP Ethernet Routes
You normally do not need to define an Ethernet IP route. An Ethernet IP
route consists of an IP address, a mask, a metric, and a gateway. An
Ethernet route is usually defined when there are multiple routers on the
Ethernet that cannot exchange routing information.
• For the WAN interface:
The following information is defined by your Network Administrator.
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 NAT is not enabled, you may need to specify a source WAN IP address
for the WAN connection to the remote router.
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.
IPX Routing Network Protocol
To configure IPX as the network protocol and RFC 1483 or RFC 1490 as the link
protocol, you need the following information:
VPI and VCI numbers (for RFC 1483)
The VPI and VCI numbers apply to ATM routers only. Your router may have been
preconfigured with VPI/VCI numbers. If not, get these numbers from your Network
Service Provider.
If you are connecting to multiple remote sites, get additional VPI and VCI numbers
from your Network Service Provider. These numbers identify the remote destination
and must be unique for each remote.
