Network summary

D400 SUBSTATION GATEWAY INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Setting Description
Point -to-Point (PPP) The D400 supports a PPP dial-in connection from a host computer using a
Telnet or Secure Shell terminal session. To establish a PPP connection, the
D400 must have a COM2 adapter card installed and configured for DTE
communications.
You must configure an IPv4 address for the D400 device as well as the
remote device. You can also use the configuration menu to enable or
disable the PPP service or to change the network zone of the interface.
After you have configured the PPP interface on the D400, set up the host
computer for a basic dial-up connection and use the D400 administrator
user name and password.
Default Gateway Use this command to set the Default Gateway IP Address (optional). The IP
Address of the Gateway can be configured for both of the Network
Interfaces.
If redundancy is configured, you are advised to configure the Active
Gateway IP Address.
Custom Routing Use this command to display, enable and disable custom routes in the D400.
For addition of custom routes in the D400, you may need to provide the
following:
• Destination IP Address,
• Destination subnet mask
• Next Gateway IP Address (optional)
• Network interface of D400 that needs to be used.
Networking Summary Use this command to display a summary of all the configured network
interfaces in the D400.
You can view a summary of all configured network interfaces in the D400 along with the
type of interface.
For example, the Network Summary option provides a list of available network subnets in
the D400:
1. 10.12.232.250/16
2. 10.12.232.251/16
3. 11.12.232.250/16
4. 1.5.4.3/16
5. 172.12.232.250/16
6. 172.12.232.251/16
7. 72.12.232.250/16
The slash and the number following the slash represents the subnet mask, expressed in
CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation.
The number after the slash represents the number of consecutive 1's in the subnet mask.
For example, 192.168.10.0/24 is equal to the network 192.168.10.0 with a 255.255.255.0
subnet mask. (i.e If user converts 255.255.255.0 to binary, it results in 24 consecutive 1's).
Other examples are:
IP 192.168.0.0, netmask 255.255.0.0 is written as 192.168.0.0/16
IP 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.248.0 is written as 192.168.0.0/21
