To enter network gateway settings:
1. Enter the following:
Default |
IP address of the router for this network. If this has not been set manually, any gateway acquired by DHCP for Eth1 or Eth2 displays. All network traffic that matches the Eth1 IP address and subnet mask is sent out Eth1. All network traffic that matches the Eth2 IP address and subnet mask is sent out Eth 2. If you set a default gateway, any network traffic that does not match Eth1 or Eth2 is sent to the default gateway for routing. |
DHCP-Acquired (display only) |
Gateway acquired by DHCP for Eth1 or Eth2. |
GPRS-Acquired (display only) |
Displays the IP address of the router if it has been automatically assigned by General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). |
Precedence |
Indicates whether the gateway acquired by DHCP or the default gateway takes precedence. The default is DHCP Gateway. If the DHCP Gateway is selected and both Eth1 and Eth2 are configured for DHCP, the SLC gives precedence to the Eth1 gateway. |
Alternate |
An alternate IP address of the router for this network, to be used if an IP address usually accessible through the default gateway fails to return one or more pings. |
IP Address to Ping |
IP address to ping to determine whether to use the alternate gateway. |
Ethernet Port to Ping |
Ethernet port to use for the ping. |
Delay between Pings |
Number of seconds between pings |
Number of Failed Pings |
Number of pings that fail before the SLC uses the alternate gateway. |
To save, click Apply.
