Add IP Redundant Gateway

This option allows you to add a backup gateway for end stations on ELANs with manually configured default gateway IP addresses. If the primary gateway goes down, the backup gateway automatically starts passing packets from the end station to other subnets.

This option adds a redundant default gateway address to your configuration.

  1. Enter the Network number to which you want to add a redundant default gateway address.

  2. Enter the Gateway IP address.

    Valid Values: any valid IP address

    Default Value: 0.0.0.0

  3. Enter the Address mask for the IP address.

    Valid Values: any valid IP mask (0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255)

    Default Value: 0.0.0.0

  4. Enter the MAC address .

    Valid Values: any valid MAC address not used by other interfaces on the ELAN.

    Default Value: 00.00.00.00.00.00

  5. Click to indicate if this address is the Primary or Backup gateway.

    Indicate if the gateway is the primary gateway active during the normal operation of the network, or the backup gateway active when the interface containing the primary gateway is not operational.

Select the Submit button.


Delete IP Redundant Gateway

This option deletes a redundant default gateway address from your configuration.
