Routing Table

∙The Gateway field of the static route entry allows users to either enter a Gateway IP address or select a Network Interface.

∙All user-defined routes retained in the CPE memory, regardless if they are already in the Routing Table, are displayed on the same Route Table page.

∙All user defined route entries kept in the CPE memory during run time are saved to flash when the user chooses to save and reboot the CPE. When CPE restarts, it reloads all saved user-defined routes to the CPE memory and tries to apply to the system.

∙A user-defined route entry is added to the Routing Table whenever the sys- tem provides an environment that makes the route entry applicable. It is removed from the Routing Table whenever the route entry becomes not applicable. e.g. If the route entry’s Gateway is associated with a dynamic Network Interface but the connection is not established, then the route en- try does not appear in the Routing Table. When that interface comes up later, the route entry is then added.

∙If the selected Network Interface is static or is dynamic and the connection is already up, then the route entry appears in the Routing Table immedi- ately. If there is a Gateway associated with the selected Network Interface, then that Gateway’s IP address appears in the Gateway field of the route entry

∙If the selected Network Interface is dynamic but the connection is not es- tablished, then the route entry does not appear in the Routing Table. When the interface comes up later, the route entry is then added.
