RADSL Card Configuration

Table 3-5. IP Router Options (1 of 4)

Static Routes	A-E-A

Allows you to add or delete static routes in the system. For the management domain, static routes must be provided to the MCC and the RTUs. For the service domain, static routes must be provided upstream to the next hop router and downstream to those hosts that require static routes.

Item – Press Enter on 0 field to add entry. You cannot select dynamic routes or routes identified as rmt s1x on the location field. The remote entries can only be modified from RTU Static Routes menu. If a static route is identified as “both s1x,” only the DSL (local) portion of the static route can be modified.

NOTE: s1x = s1c, s1d, s1e, or s1f.

Host/Net – nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format or space to delete entry. Destination of the route to the NMS. This field is read-only for dynamic routes.

Subnet Mask – Associated subnet mask for the specified destination IP address to the NMS. On Model 8540, 255.255.255.255 is the subnet mask for routes to the RTUs. This field is read-only for dynamic routes.

Next Hop – nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format. IP address of the next hop router for the specified destination to the NMS. On Model 8540, the next hop is DSL port name s1c, s1d, s1e, or s1f. This field is read-only for dynamic routes and will be blank for those routes identified as rmt s1x on the location field.

Pref – Measure of how preferable one route is to another, if you have two or more routes going to the same destination. (The lower the number, the more preferable.) This route is compared to others for the same address. This field is read-only for dynamic routes.

S/D (Source/Destination) – Source or destination IP address of the packet. This field is read-only for dynamic routes.

PA (Proxy ARP) – Router answers ARP requests intended for another machine. This field is read-only for dynamic routes. Proxy ARP is only used when the RTU and the ISP router are on the same subnet.

NOTE: When you define a source route, the Proxy ARP field is no longer selectable.

Location – Shows the location of the route.

–Local indicates that the route is a local route on the RADSL card.

–Rmt s1x indicates that the route is a remote route on the 5446 RTU connected to interface s1x. (The next hop field will be blank.)

–Both s1x indicates that the remote route is applicable to both the RADSL card and the 5446 RTU connected to the s1x interface. (The next hop field will display the peer IP address of the s1x interface.)
