Set IP Host Address

Sets the router's IP address. You must assign the router an IP address before enabling TCP/IP Host Services.

Note: If the IP address is not already configured, it is set (by default) using boot information. This process applies only if the router is a network host.

  1. Enter the IP-Host address.

    Valid Values: a valid IP address

    Default Value: none

  2. Enter the address mask.

    This parameter specifies the mask for the IP host, subnetwork, or network to which IP packets are either forwarded or dropped, depending on the type of Access Control entry.

    Valid Values: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255

    Default Value: none

Add Default Gateway

Use the Add option to add default gateways (that is, routers) to your configuration.

This parameter specifies the default gateways (routers) that you want to add to your configuration. When your device has been designated as the default gateway, it exists as the static authoritative router that receives all packets having destinations not found in the routing table.

Default gateways are used when trying to send packets to IP destinations that are off the local connection. The routing table is then built up through redirect processing. An attempt is made to detect routers that disappear. If the device is booted over the network (via TFTP/BootP), then the default gateway is configured using the information from the booting process.

Enter the default gateway address.

Valid Values: a valid IP address in dotted decimal form

Default Value: none

Select the Submit button.


Delete Default Gateway

Use the Delete option to delete default gateways from your router configuration.

Enter the default gateway address you want to remove.

Valid Values: a valid IP address in dotted decimal form

Default Value: none

Select the Submit button.
