Entry

Description

 

 

Optionally: If the user enters a multicast address

 

 

(224.0.0.0-239.255.255.255) as the destination IP

 

 

address, then the following parameters will be

 

 

requested:

 

 

Route MultiCast packets from Ethernet to Satellite?

 

 

[y/n]

 

 

The option allows the user to specify if multicast

 

 

packets that match the provided IP address will be

 

 

routed from the Ethernet to Satellite. “No” means that

 

 

the packets will be discarded.

 

 

Route MultiCast packets from Satellite to Ethernet?

 

 

[y/n]

 

 

The option allows the user to specify if multicast

 

 

packets that match the provided IP address will be

 

 

routed from the Satellite to Ethernet. “No” means that

 

 

the packets will be discarded.

 

 

Multicast Routes always have a subnet length of 32

 

 

and the next hop is 0.0.0.0 because it is not applicable.

 

 

Note: The CiM does allow the specification of one and

 

 

only one default route. Destination IP =

 

 

0.0.0.0 Subnet Length = 0 Next Hop IP =

 

 

<some next hop address>

 

 

This will cause all packets which do not match

 

 

any other route to be sent to the Next Hop IP

 

 

for further processing.

Base

B

The Route Table menu allows the user to view up to 8

 

 

different routes per screen. To allow editing on any of the

 

 

1024 entries that can be defined, the user can select a

 

 

base address to control which 8 routes are displayed. For

 

 

example, if the user wants to edit Routes 32-40, then a

 

 

Base value of 32 should be defined.

Delete Route

D

Route Name to delete

 

 

 

Display All

P

Displays all of the routes that are currently defined in the

 

 

system. This will include automatically generated routes

 

 

which are provided to simplify provisioning of the system.

 

 

The information displayed is: Route Name,

 

 

DestIP/SnetBits, Next Hop, and Flags

QoS/DES

Q

Activates QoS/DES page.

 

 

 

Downlink Mcast

Read

Read only status of Downlink Multicast (Enabled or

 

Only

Disabled).

Save Parameters

S

This option allows a user to save the current configuration

 

 

of the CiM to permanent storage. This configuration will be

 

 

restored on each successive power cycle of the CiM.

 

 

 

Exit

X

This option allows a user to exit the current menu and

 

 

return to its parent menu.
