6: Basic Parameters

Gateway

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

Gateway acquired by DHCP for Eth1 or Eth2.

(view only)

 

 

 

GPRS-Acquired

Displays the IP address of the router if it has been

(view only)

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 SLB branch office

 

manager 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

Ethernet port to use for the ping.

Ping

 

 

 

Delay between

Number of seconds between pings

Pings

 

 

 

Number of Failed

Number of pings that fail before the SLB device uses the

Pings

alternate gateway.

 

 

Enable IP

IP forwarding enables network traffic received on one

Forwarding

interface (Eth1, Eth2, or an external/PC Card modem

 

attached to the SLB branch office manager with an active

 

PPP connection) to be transferred out another interface

 

(any of the above). The default behavior (if IP forwarding is

 

disabled) is for network traffic to be received but not routed

 

to another destination.

 

Enabling IP forwarding is required if you enable Network

 

Address Translation (NAT) for any device port modem or

 

PC Card/ISDN modem. IP forwarding allows a user

 

accessing the SLB branch office manager over a modem

 

to access the network connected to Eth1 or Eth2.
