NetMask
is the sub-network mask for the secondary IP address. The mask is used during routing
to determine the portion of the address associated with the sub-network. All network
bits are set to
1
and must be contiguous.
Bcast Addr
is the broadcast address associated with the secondary IP address. This address is used
to send to all LAN hosts on the sub-network.
RMetric
is the routing metric count associated with the secondary IP address. This count is the
number of "hops" (subnet gateways in the overall path over the internet) associated
with this interface (usually zero). During routing, the interface with the lowest count
will be selected.
RIP Support
specifies the level of RIP support for the secondary IP address:
Enabled
All RIP messages will be accepted, and messages of the
version configured in
IP Node Defaults
(
[A], [A], [E], [A]
from
the Main Menu, or see page 13-3) will be transmitted.
Rcv Only
RIP messages will be accepted, but not transmitted.
Disabled
No RIP messages will be accepted or transmitted.
Configuring Static IP Routes
Routing of IP traffic is handled dynamically by such protocols as RIP, as well as via
static routes configured in the FRM. Static routes are generally used for fixed paths
with predictable traffic loads, such as inter-nodal management.
To display configured static routes, press
[F]
at the Connections and Routing Paths
Menu (or
[A], [D], [F]
from the Main Menu).
To configure a route, press
[G]
at the Connections and Routing Paths Menu. When
prompted, enter a
Route Number
:
0–32767
. (Default is
0
.) This is simply an identifier.
