Setting Up Static Routes - Siemens HiPath C10 User Manual

4.2.5

Setting up static routes

It is recommended that you define a default route to your enterprise network, either with a static
route or by using OSPF protocol. A default route enables the HiPath Wireless Controller to
forward packets to destinations that do not match a more specific route definition.
To set a static route on the HiPath Wireless Controller:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless Controller Configuration. The HiPath Wireless
Controller Configuration screen appears.
2. In the left pane, click Routing Protocols. The Static Routes tab appears.
3. To add a new route, in the Destination Address box type the destination IP address of a
packet. To define a default static route for any unknown address not in the routing table,
type 0.0.0.0.
4. In the Subnet Mask box, type the appropriate subnet mask to separate the network portion
from the host portion of the IP address (typically 255.255.255.0). To define the default static
route for any unknown address, type 0.0.0.0.
