Configuring Multiple-point Routes
For multi-location enterprises, NPort 6000 servers can be placed in different branch offices and used as both
multi-point routers and as remote access servers. When hosts (e.g., the Web/FTP and E-mail/News servers
shown in the figure) send requests to hosts on another network, such as 202.6.6.xxx or 201.2.2.xxx, the
corresponding NPort 6000 delivers the request to the another NPort 6000 on the remote end, 202.6.6.254 or
201.2.2.254, as the next-hop router..
For this example, assume that Modem 1 is connected to serial port 1, Modem 2 is connected to serial port 2, and
PPP source and destination IP addresses of modems 1, 2, 3, and 4 are as follows:
Source IP
Destination IP
Source IP
Destination IP
Modem 1
203.67.6.250
202.6.6.250
Modem 3
202.6.6.250
203.67.6.250
Modem 2
203.67.6.249
201.2.2.249
Modem 4
201.2.2.249
203.67.6.249
In this case, you will need to add two entries to the routing table, as shown in the following figure.
