Configuring IP Routing
Configuring the local IP network setup
MultiVoice Gateway for the MAX— User’s Guide
Preliminary November 23, 1998
8-11
You can place the MultiVoice Gateway on a subnet of that network by entering a subnet mask
in its IP address specification. For example:
1
Open Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether Options.
2
Specify the IP subnet address for the MultiVoice Gateway on Ethernet. For example:
Ethernet
Mod Config
Ether options…
IP Adrs=10.2.3.1/24
3
Configure the MultiVoice Gateway to receive RIP updates from the local GRF router:
RIP=Recv=v2
4
Close the Ethernet profile.
With this subnet address, the MultiVoice Gateway requires a static route to the backbone router
on the main network. Otherwise, it can only communicate with devices on the subnets to which
it is directly connected. To create the static route and make the backbone router the default
route:
1
Open the Default IP Route profile.
2
Specify the IP address of a backbone router in the Gateway parameter. For example:
Ethernet
Static Rtes
Name=Default
Active=Yes
Dest=0.0.0.0/0
Gateway=10.0.0.17
Preference=100
Metric=1
DownPreference=140
DownMetric=7
Private=Yes
3
Close the Default IP Route profile.
For more information about IP Route profiles, see “Configuring IP routes and preferences” on
page 8-16. To verify that the MultiVoice Gateway is up on the local network, invoke the
terminal-server interface and Ping a local IP address or hostname. For example:
ascend% ping 10.1.2.3
You can terminate the Ping exchange at any time by pressing Ctrl-C.
Configuring DNS
The DNS configuration enables the MultiVoice Gateway to use local DNS or WINS servers for
lookups. In this example of a DNS configuration, client DNS is not in use. To configure the
local DNS service:
1
Open Ethernet > Mod Config > DNS.
2
Specify the local domain name.
3
If appropriate, specify a secondary domain name.
4
Specify the IP addresses of a primary and secondary DNS server, and turn on the DNS list
attempt feature:
