3.2.5 Setting up static routes
It is recommended that you defiIne a default route to your enterprise network,
either with a static route or by using OSPF protocol. A default route enables the
HiPath Wireless Controller to forward packets to destinations that do not match a
more specific route definition.
To set a static route on the HiPath Wireless Controller:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless Controller Configuration. The HiPath
Wireless Controller Configuration page is displayed.
2. In the left pane, click Routing Protocols. The Static Routes tab is displayed.
3. To add a new route, in the Destination Address box type the destination IP
address of a packet. To define a default static route for any unknown address
not in the routing table, type 0.0.0.0.
4. In the Subnet Mask box, type the appropriate subnet mask to separate the
network portion from the host portion of the IP address (typically
255.255.255.0). To define the default static route for any unknown address,
type 0.0.0.0.
5. In the Gateway box, type the IP address of the specific router port or gateway
on the same subnet as the HiPath Wireless Controller to which to forward
these packets. This is the IP address of the next hop between the HiPath
Wireless Controller and the packet’s ultimate destination.
