Configuring Interface IP Addressing and Routing

2
A non-specific route may be entered as a pseudo default gateway using an address of 0.0.0.0 and a mask
of 0.0.0.0, but only under guidance of your network administrator. The default gateway option should be
used.

• Enter a Next Hop IP address only when an Ethernet or V.24 port is selected
as an interface, in which case the IP address for the device connected to the
Ethernet port must be entered.
Until a valid route is entered its OK status will display a cross, and the causative
Destination, Subnet Mask and/or Next Hop entries will indicate red.
The parameters checked by CT to declare a route valid include destination
address bytes, and incorrect subnet mask and/or next hop settings.
CT will not commit configuration changes for an invalid route entry.
4. Continue to add and define route lines on all used interfaces:
• Where simple static routing is used (default gateway not enabled) specific

routes
are established from this Node/Terminal to all IP addressable
devices on the network (9500 MXC Nodes/Terminals, legacy terminals, 3rd
party terminals).
• Where the default gateway is enabled static routes are only defined for IP
addressable devices that point away from the NOC. The default gateway
defines routing towards the NOC.
• If the Ethernet NMS or V.24 ports are not being used to connect to other
devices, do not enter a route line for them.
The V.24 port is only to be configured when used for connection to a router, or
similar device. For V.24 connection to a 9500 MXC CT PC, no configuration is
required.

5. To commit the configuration, click Send.
The Interface Addressing screen allows each interface to have its own IP address
to support route partitioning across a node, or to assist network planning and
management diagnostics in larger networks.
Interface IP addressing may be used with dynamic or static routing, with the
