Setting the Default Gateway

If the SNMP management station is located on a different IP subnet than 

the 8H02-16, a default gateway must be specified. When an SNMP Trap is 

generated, the 8H02-16 sends the Trap to the default gateway. To set the 

default gateway, perform the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Default Gateway field.

2. Enter the IP address of the default gateway using the DDN format.

For example: 134.141.79.121

3. Press ENTER. If the default gateway entered is a valid format, the 

cursor returns to the beginning of the Default Gateway field. If the 

entry is not valid, the Event Message Line displays “INVALID 

DEFAULT GATEWAY OR FORMAT ENTERED”. Local 

Management does not alter the current value, but it does refresh the 

Default Gateway field with the previous value.

4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command.

5. Press ENTER. The Event Message Line at the top of the screen 

displays “SAVED OK”.
