¥ DNS second server address
¥ DNS domain name
Note: If you intend to only connect to the Internet, enter this information using the Internet Quick Start
configurator.
¥ IP Routing Entries
For the Ethernet Interface
This information is defined by the user or the Network Administrator.
Ethernet IP Address (Local LAN)
An Ethernet LAN IP address and subnet mask are required for the routerÕs local Ethernet LAN
connection.
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 between them.
For the ATM WAN Interface
This information is obtained from the Network Administrator or the Network Service Provider.
Source (Target/Local) WAN Port Address and Mask
You must specify a Source WAN IP address for the WAN connection to the remote router (whether or
not Network Address Translation is enabled). The Source WAN Address is the address of the local router
on the remote network. The mask is the mask used on the remote network. Check with your system
administrator for details.
TCP/IP Remote Routes
If you are using RFC 1483MER or RFC 1490MER, the IP route includes an IP address, subnet mask,
metric (a number representing the perceived cost in reaching the remote network or station), and a
gateway. The gateway address that you enter is the address of a router on the remote LAN. Check with
your system administrator for details.
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, in DLCI ( special
circumstances, define an Ethernet gateway. There can be only one default route specified.
