Devices

This command is supported in Digi Cellular Family products only.

Purpose

Configures IP routing, or forwarding of IP datagrams, between network

 

interfaces. IP routing must be enabled to allow the Network Address Table

 

(NAT) and port forwarding features to work properly.

 

The “set forwarding” command enables addition of static route entries to

 

the IP routing table. Static routes instruct the device to route packets for a

 

known destination host or network, to (through) a router or gateway

 

different from the default gateway. They explicitly define the next “hop” from

 

a router for a particular destination. This is sometimes necessary to

 

communicate with hosts on a different subnet than the Digi device, or to

 

provide a more direct or efficient route to such hosts than may be provided

 

by using the default gateway or other routes.

Required

For Digi Connect products with two or more users, to use this command,

privileges

permissions must be set to one of the following:

 

• For a user to display the forwarding settings:

 

“set permissions s-router=read”

 

• For a user to display and set forwarding settings:

 

“set permissions s-router=rw”

 

See "set permissions" on page 157 for details on setting user permissions

 

for commands.

Syntax

Set IP forwarding settings

 

The first option, “ipforwarding,” enables or disables IP forwarding. The

 

remaining options pertain to static routes.

 

set forwarding [ipforwarding={onoff}]

 

[staticrouteindex={1-8}]

 

[action={addchangedelete}]

 

[enabled={onoff}]

 

[net=destination ip address]

 

[mask=subnet mask]

 

[gateway=ip address]

 

[metric={1-16}]

 

[interface=interface name]

 

The “staticrouteindex” and “action” options are required for all static route

 

management commands. To add a new static route entry, all eight of the

 

above static route options are required.

 

Note that this command cannot be used to add, change or delete a default

 

gateway entry: the default gateway is managed internally by the device.
