Gateway
SLB™ Branch Office Manager User Guide
Default
IP address of the router for this network.
If this has not been set manually, any gateway acquired by
DHCP for Eth1 or Eth2 displays.
All network traffic that matches the Eth1 IP address and
subnet mask is sent out Eth1. All network traffic that
matches the Eth2 IP address and subnet mask is sent out
Eth 2.
If you set a default gateway, any network traffic that does
not match Eth1 or Eth2 is sent to the default gateway for
routing.
DHCP-Acquired
Gateway acquired by DHCP for Eth1 or Eth2.
(view only)
GPRS-Acquired
Displays the IP address of the router if it has been
automatically assigned by General Packet Radio Service
(view only)
(GPRS).
Precedence
Indicates whether the gateway acquired by DHCP or the
default gateway takes precedence. The default is DHCP
Gateway. If the DHCP Gateway is selected and both Eth1
and Eth2 are configured for DHCP, the SLB branch office
manager gives precedence to the Eth1 gateway.
Alternate
An alternate IP address of the router for this network, to be
used if an IP address usually accessible through the
default gateway fails to return one or more pings.
IP Address to Ping
IP address to ping to determine whether to use the
alternate gateway.
Ethernet Port to Ethernet port to use for the ping.
Ping
Delay between
Number of seconds between pings
Pings
Number of Failed Number of pings that fail before the SLB device uses the
Pings alternate gateway.
Enable IP IP forwarding enables network traffic received on one
Forwarding interface (Eth1, Eth2, or an external/PC Card modem
attached to the SLB branch office manager with an active
PPP connection) to be transferred out another interface
(any of the above). The default behavior (if IP forwarding is
disabled) is for network traffic to be received but not routed
to another destination.
Enabling IP forwarding is required if you enable Network
Address Translation (NAT) for any device port modem or
PC Card/ISDN modem. IP forwarding allows a user
accessing the SLB branch office manager over a modem
to access the network connected to Eth1 or Eth2.
