5. Packets addressed to the receiver’s subnet broadcast address are sent out on the applicable physical
network to which the receiver is attached.
6. Packets addressed to other subnets are sent to the appropriate gateway as defined in the routing table.
7. An entry that has its Destination and Netmask both set to 0.0.0.0 will represent a Default Gateway. This
Default Gateway will be the same as the Default Gateway displayed on the Identity page (see Figure 2- 3 ). If
a Default Gateway is defined, all unicast packets that can not be sent out using the rules above (1 – 6) will be
sent to the Default Gateway.
8. All packets that cannot be sent out using the rules described above (1-7) are discarded by the receiver.
9. The Destination, Netmask, and Gateway entries must be expressed in dotted decimal notation.
10. The Gateway Address cannot be a loopback, broadcast, or multicast address and must be on the same
subnet as the receiver. However, it cannot be the receiver’s IP address.
11. The Destination Address cannot be a loopback, broadcast or multicast address, and cannot be on the same
subnet as the receiver.
When the Static Routing submenu item is selected under Data Delivery, the Static Routing page is displayed for all

these interfaces are configured with other GUI edit pages besides the Edit Table page here.
This column tells you where you must edit the configuration (e.g. the Identity Edit page (see
