Creating the Routes

The following procedure outlines the basic route structure that the target
CDM-570/570L will require for its role in the network. One of the key routes
that must be created is a gateway address for routing the data traffic that is
received by the unit.

Class B in half and points the upper half toward the satellite there will be
over 16000 usable addresses at the Hub as well as at the Remotes. For details
on IP addressing, refer to Appendix A, "Network Addressing".
By putting the one route statement "Remotes 172.16.128.0/17 Wan to Sat"
in the TDM Hub modem, and by using the route statement "GW 0.0.0.0/0
Wan to Sat" at each of the remote modems, the network will successfully
route packets. The remotes can then be sub-netted as class C networks or
below. Additional routers at the remotes can be added for unusually large
sites, allowing an additional layer of NAT without requiring any more
explicit routing within the Vipersat Modem/Routers.
From the Main Menu shown in figure 2-1, select Route Table by entering
R at the command prompt.
From the Configuring the Route Table screen shown in figure 2-7, enter
1 at the command prompt to set the first route that will define the default
gateway.
