Routing to ATM/ADSL connections actually means:
"
Routing between the local (W)LAN and Classical Logical IP
subnets and vice/versa
"
Routing between the local (W)LAN and PPP connections and
vice/versa.
Basically the IP router only cares about IP addresses, i.e. the
'Destination IP address' of any packet received on any of its
interfaces (PPP, CIP or Ethernet) is looked up in the IP routing table.
The lookup process will determine the best route that may lead to
the final destination of the packet. Consequently it will forward
the packet to the interface that may reach this destination.
When the STWireless is powered, routes are automatically
configured in the routing table, e.g.:
"
As soon as the Ethernet interface is up and running, a route
(being the IP address of the Ethernet interface) is added
"
If a CIP member is created and configured with an IP address,
this IP address will show up in the table
"
The IP address negotiated between the remote peer and a
PPP connection (configured for AlwaysĆOn) will also be
automatically added to the routing table.
