TCP/IP AX3000 User's Manual 181
For example: an AX3000 connected, over a network, to a host with an IP
address 192.1.168.40 (class C: three bytes for the Network address) must have
the three first bytes of its address set to 192.1.168. The fourth byte cannot be
equal to 40.
A.2.3 - Router
Depending on the network topology, the AX3000 and the host may be installed
on different physical networks and linked through one or several routers.
Two types of router can be used to access remote networks:
- a default router: this router knows how to reach many remote networks.,
- specific routers: in charge of one remote network.
The default router is only identified by an IP address.
The specific routers are identified by the following parameters:
- Router IP address: this router must be connected to the same network
as the AX3000.
- Destination IP Address: IP address of the host or the network to be
reached.
- Destination Type: two values:
- Host: the destination is a single host,
- Network: the destination is a whole local network (the class mask
is applied to this IP address).
Notes:
- At the AX3000 level, the routing algorithm uses a specific router to reach
the destination. If no specific router fits, the default router is used.
- The AX3000 doesn't support ICMP REDIRECT requests (dynamic
routers are not supported).
