Configuring Single Ip Addressing And Static Routing - Aviat Networks ECLIPSE EDGE User Manual

Chapter 4. Eclipse Edge Configuration and Diagnostics

Configuring Single IP Addressing and Static Routing

The static routing screen provides user defined fields for the destination IP address,
subnet mask, and the interface by which it is directed, such as a Link (radio path) or
Ethernet port. Refer to Figure 4-16 on page 4-61.
The entry in the static routing table lets the local Eclipse terminal know that another
remote network connection exists (the destination), and the Interface defines the
path/port connection used to get there.
If the Interface is via one of the Ethernet NMS ports, then the IP address for the
device connected to this interface must also be entered under 'Next Hop'. This
situation may arise where a network management connection is to be established
with other Aviat products or with 3rd party equipment. A Next Hop entry is not
required if the Interface is a Link.
Default Gateway
A default gateway option is available, which can be used in conjunction with static
routing to reduce data entry requirements and support flexible adding/changing of
PC connections at a NOC LAN
• Towards the NOC a single default gateway is entered on each terminal instead of
static routes.
• Away from the NOC static entries are required in the normal way - each terminal
must have an entry for all other terminals that are on its away side only.
• No static routes are required from terminals to address NOC host devices (PCs,
Server), meaning NMS PCs (ProVision / Portal) can be added/removed from the
NOC LAN without affecting network visibility.
• At the NOC, each of the LAN hosts (PCs, Server) are also configured with a default
gateway in their TCP/IP properties. (Just as an Ethernet connected Portal PC is
configured to use its directly-connected terminal as its default gateway). Entry of
static routes to terminals is not required.

Assumes a single NOC site. Where multiple NOCs are deployed, default gateways can be established on individual
branches of the network, but at branching sites specific route entries will be required to the NOCs.
