2 To set the gateway IP address for a default route, click on an entry in the
Gateway IP Address column.
3 Edit the IP address to the address of the gateway the route uses.
4 To change the cost for using the route, double-click the value in the
Metric column for the route and type a value for the cost (0 to
2,147,483,647). Lower-cost routes are preferred. The default is 1.
5 Repeat step 2 through step 4 for each default route you want to
configure.
6 Do one of the following:
Go to "Configuring IP Aliases" on page 242.
Select another item in the WX Switch wizard, if you are using this
wizard.
Click Finish to close the wizard and save changes.
You can map an IP address to a name by creating an IP alias. For example,
if you create an IP alias carmel for IP address 10.20.30.40, you could type
telnet carmel rather than telnet 10.20.30.40. You can use IP aliases in
conjunction with DNS. If you use IP aliases and DNS is enabled, the WX
looks up IP aliases before checking for entries on a DNS server.
Creating IP Aliases
To create an IP alias:
1 Do one of the following:
Open the WX Switch wizard, then select IP Alias under IP Services in
the organizer list of the System and Administrative page.
In the Organizer panel, select IP Services under a WX switch or
Domain Policies, then select Edit > Properties. The Modify IP Services
wizard appears. Click on IP Alias at the top of the wizard.
Here is an example of the IP Alias page in the WX Switch wizard.
