Configure as an Ethernet IP Router
An Ethernet IP router is used to intelligently route Internet Protocol
(IP) LAN traffic to remotely connected LANs across the WAN.
Figure 2 - 4 IP Routed Local Area Networks
IP routers forward IP frames based upon their IP destination address
and an internal routing table. The router maintains the internal routing
table with the remote network IP addresses and the remote partner IP
routers associated with those networks. When an IP frame is received
from the local LAN, the destination IP address is examined and looked
up in the routing tables. Once the destination IP network is found in
the routing tables, the IP router sends the IP frame to the remote
partner P850 that is connected to the appropriate remote IP network.
If no explicit route entry is found in the routing tables, the IP frame is
sent to the Default Gateway.
To configure the P850 to be an IP router, the following parameters
must be defined in the built-in menu system.
