Description

 

 

Signaling DSCP

The Differentiated Services Code Point value (0 - 63) to

 

 

put in the DS field of IP packet headers.

 

 

The DSCP value is used to classify packets for quality

 

 

of service (QoS) purposes.

 

 

Default IPv6 gateway

The interface to use for accessing the IPv6 gateway,

 

 

generally eth0. Optionally, the gateway’s address and

 

 

the interface, specified as:

 

 

<IPv6_address>%eth0

 

 

Default IPv4 gateway

If management and signaling traffic are on separate

 

 

networks, select which of the two networks’ gateway

 

 

servers is the default.

 

 

Your choice depends on your network configuration and

 

 

routing. Typically, unless all the endpoints, MCUs, and

 

 

other devices that communicate with the system are on

 

 

the same subnet, you’d select the signaling network.

Routing Configuration Dialog Box

In the Network page’s action list, the Routing Configuration command opens the Routing Configuration dialog box, where you can add or delete network routing rules (IPv4, IPv6, or both, depending on the System IP type setting on the Network page). The Show raw routing configuration button lets you view the operating system’s underlying routing configuration.

In a split network configuration, routing rules are necessary for proper routing of network traffic. In a combined network configuration, the operating system’s underlying routing configuration is likely sufficient unless you need a special rule or rules for your particular network. If you aren’t sure, consult the appropriate IT staff or network administrator for your organization.

The following table describes the fields in the Routing Configuration dialog box. If System IP type is set to IPv4 + IPv6, the dialog box contains two essentially identical sections, one for each IP type. Each section contains the input fields listed below, a table showing the defined routing rules, and buttons for adding and deleting routes.
