Routes
When the IPSat GW1000 must forward
traffic to multiple networks that are
accessible through different routers on the
IPSat GW1000's subnet, static routes must be
used. To add a static route, press "a". You
will be prompted to enter the following:
Destination: The destination network IP
address.
Mask: The destination network subnet mask.
Gateway: The IP address of the gateway
(router) that will forward the packet to its
final destination or the next hop.
Port: The port that the incoming packet will
be forwarded out. This should always be the
Ethernet port unless a Multicast static route is
entered, in which case, the HDLC port should
be chosen.
Note: The default gateway and static route
configuration only apply to forwarding
decisions made on packets received by the
DVB port (demodulator or receive port), not
packets received by the Ethernet port.
Packets received by the Ethernet port that
contain an unknown destination network will
be forwarded out the HDLC port (modulator
or transmit port).
Configuration Example:
Consider the network diagram below for the
following discussion. Assume that Router A
can forward packets to ten different networks,
Router B can forward packets to network
192.168.34.240 with subnet mask
255.255.255.248, and Router C can forward
packets to network 192.168.34.232 with
subnet mask 255.255.255.248.
