Z-Plex B

In the example network in Figure 4-1,the Z-Plex unit A has two IP interfaces: a DS0 management interface with an address of 128.23.0.1; and an Ethernet interface with an address of 192.168.8.22 and a netmask of 255.255.255.252. The Z-Plex unit B has a DS0 management interface with the address of 128.23.0.2.

When you configure an Ethernet address and a DS0 address on Z-Plex unit A, the Z-Plex creates the route from network A to network B. However, in order for the Z-Plex unit B to route IP traffic back to network A, you must create a network route on unit B. This network route uses the IP address of unit A the gateway. You can configure this route as follows:

user> SET ROUTE:ADDNETRT:1:192.168.0.0:128.23.0.1

Alternatively, you can create a default route and specify the IP address of the unit A as the gateway:

user> SET ROUTE:ADDNETRT:1:0.0.0.0:128.23.0.1
