Static Routes - Tripp Lite B092-016 Owner's Manual

Chapter 3: Initial System Configuration
The Console Server enables access and control of serially-attached devices and network-attached devices (hosts). The
Administrator must configure access privileges for each of these devices, and specify the services that can be used to control
the devices. The Administrator can also set up new users and specify each user's individual access and control privileges.
This chapter covers each of the steps in configuring hosts and serially attached devices:
• Configure Serial Ports – setting up the protocols to be used in accessing serially-connected devices
• Users & Groups – setting up users and defining the access permissions for each of these users
• Authentication – this is covered in more detail in Chapter 9
• Network Hosts – configuring access to local network connected computers or appliances (hosts)
• Configuring Trusted Networks - nominate specific IP addresses that trusted users access from
• Cascading and Redirection of Serial Console Ports
• Connecting to Power (UPS PDU and IPMI) and Environmental Monitoring (EMD) devices
• Serial Port Redirection – using the VirtualPort windows and Linux clients
• Managed Devices - presents a consolidated view of all the connections
• IPSec – enabling IPSec VPN connection
• OpenVPN - enabling IPSec OpenVPN connection
• PPTP – setting up point to point connection

Static routes

Firmware 3.4 and later support static routes which provide a very quick way to route data from one subnet to another. You
can hard code a path that specifies to the console server/router which path to take to get to a particular subnet. This may be
useful for remotely accessing various subnets at a remote site when using the cellular OoB connection.
To add to the static route to the route table of the system:
• Select the Route Settings tab on the System: IP General Settings menu
• Enter a meaningful Route Name for the route
• In the Destination Network/Host field, enter the IP address of the destination network/host that the route provides access to
• Enter a value in the Destination netmask field that identifies the destination network or host. Use any number between
0 and 32. A subnet mask of 32 identifies a host route.
• In the Route Gateway field, enter the IP address of a router that will route packets to the destination network
• Enter a value in the Metric field that represents the metric of this connection. This generally only has to be set if two or
more routes conflict or have overlapping targets. Use any number equal to or greater than 0
