18.7 The VoIP Route Screen

Use this screen to set up and maintain routing for the VoIP line cards. The routing table
contains entries that, based on the line card slot number and destination IP address or subnet,
determine where the system forwards packets from the line cards.
Click VoIP > Route. The following screen displays.

DESCRIPTION
Enter the slot number of the line card for which you wish to configure this rule.
Enter the IP address and the number of bits in the subnet mask that define the range of IP
addresses to which this entry applies. If the destination IP address of a packet is in this
range, the system forwards the frame to the specified gateway.
Enter the IP address to which the system forwards frames if the destination IP address of
a packet is in the specified range.
The metric represents the "cost" of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses hop
count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly-connected networks.
Select the number that approximates the cost for this link The number need not be
precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
If two entries for the same line card have the same metric, the system uses the one with
the lower IP address.
Click Apply to save the changes in this screen to the system's volatile memory. The
system loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Config Save on
the navigation panel and then the Save button to save your changes to the non-volatile
memory when you are done configuring.
While you are modifying a profile, you can click New to start configuring a fresh profile
without saving your changes.
Click Cancel to start configuring the screen again.
This displays an entry's line card slot number.
This displays an entry's IP address and subnet mask, defining the range of IP addresses
to which this entry applies.
This displays an entry's gateway IP address, to which frames fitting the Slot and IP/Mask
parameters are forwarded.
