Best Practices for Routed Mode Configurations
If using two in-path interfaces in routed mode and both interfaces are on the same VLAN,
which is normally the case, then only one in-path interface can have a default gateway. The
in-path interface with no default gateway defined must have a routing configuration that is
comprised entirely of static routes.
In-Path Interface Definition
VLAN ID:
If this interface carries tagged VLAN traffic, then enter the VLAN ID number which is a value between 2
and 4094. Untagged traffic should have a value of 0. The default is 0.
Status:
This is the status of the In-Path interface. It must be set to “Enabled” for the In-Path interface to
receive and process data. The default is Enabled.
Address:
This is the IPv4 address of this interface.
Netmask:
This defines the subnet boundaries of this interface.
Gateway:
This is the default gateway for this interface
.
Routes:
Enter into the text area static routes which are used by this in-path interface. Each static route
must be entered on a separate line and must have exactly the following format:
Subnet “SubnetMask” “Gateway”
For example, to define a static route such that subnet 172.88.0.0/16 should be routed by
gateway 172.27.101.99 you would enter either of the following supported formats:
172.88.0.0 255.255.0.0 172.27.101.99
Or 172.88.0.0 /16 172.27.101.99
Router Polling:
If enabled, then SNMP router polling will be used (over the management interface) to ascertain the routes
that should be added to the route table that is associated with this interface. The default value is
disabled. Router polling is only supported for VLAN 0.
Poll address:
This is the IPv4 address of the router which will respond to the SNMP router poll requests.
SNMP Version:
This is the version of SNMP that will be employed when making the router poll requests. The
default value is 2c.
Poll Community:
This is the SNMP community that is associated with the router poll request. The default value is
“public”.
Poll Interval (seconds):
This is the frequency in seconds that the router tables will be updated based upon the SNMP
router polling response.
