Forwarding
IP forwarding enables network traffic received on one interface (Eth1, Eth2, or an
external/USB modem attached to the SLC unit 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 USB/ISDN modem. IP forwarding allows a
user accessing the SLC 8000 advanced console manager over a modem to access
the network connected to Eth1 or Eth2.
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.
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 SLC unit 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 Ping Ethernet port to use for the ping.
Delay between Pings Number of seconds between pings
Number of Failed
Pings
Number of pings that fail before the SLC 8000 advanced console manager uses the
alternate gateway.
Hostname
The default host name is
slcXXXX, where XXXX is the last 4 characters of the
hardware address of Ethernet Port 1. There is a 64-character limit (contiguous
characters, no spaces). The host name becomes the prompt in the command line
interface.
Domain If desired, specify a domain name (for example, support.lantronix.com). The domain
name is used for host name resolution within the SLC unit. For example, if abcd is
specified for the SMTP server, and mydomain.com is specified for the domain, if
abcd cannot be resolved, the SLC 8000 advanced console manager attempts to
resolve abcd.mydomain.com for the SMTP server.
