Ip Addresses - Apposite Technologies Linktropy Mini2 User Manual

Packets that are forwarded out the same interface on which they were received do not traverse
the emulated WAN link. Packets are never forwarded between the MGMT and LAN A or LAN B
interfaces.
Routing Mode supports only the forwarding of IP frames and does not support multicast
forwarding.

5.2.1 IP Addresses

In IP Routing Mode, an IP address and netmask must be configured for the LAN A and LAN B
interfaces. Use of the gateway field is optional. All addresses are entered in dotted-decimal
notation.
If a gateway address is set, it must be on the same subnet as the corresponding LAN A or LAN B
address. If a gateway address is set for only one interface, then the Linktropy WAN emulator will
use this address as its default next-hop router. When gateway addresses are set for both
interfaces, the default next-hop router for packets received on one interface is the gateway of the
opposite interface.
The following entries are invalid:
 a gateway address not on the same subnet as the interface address
 an interface address or gateway address with an all-zeros host component
 an interface address or gateway address with an all-ones host component
