7 - Conﬁgure the Adapter and Verify For

Network Connectivity

Conﬁguring network connectivity allows your system to communicate

with other systems.

1. Add remote system names

2. Add remote system IP address

3. Specify default gateway information

4. View the conﬁgured gateways and destinations reached through

those gateways.

In the above example, the local interface lan0 has been conﬁgured as

the default IP gateway. IP uses the default gateway when it has to

route a packet to a destination IP address that is not a member of

any of the other destination IP subnets in the routing table. If the

default gateway is a local interface, IP will send a broadcast ARP

request via that interface to get the appropriate MAC address

(typically, an intelligent router on the attached subnet will send a

proxy ARP response).

5. Use lanscan on the remote system to obtain the remote station’s

address.
