Rules of static route installation
The Netopia R910 applies cer tain rules before installing enabled static routes in the IP routing table. An
enabled static route will not be installed in the IP routing table if any of the following conditions are true:
■
The static route’s
Next Gateway IP Address
matches the IP address used by the Netopia R910’s Ethernet
por t.
■
The static route’s
Next Gateway IP Address
matches an IP address in the range of IP addresses being
distributed by MacIP or DHCP.
■
The static route’s
Next Gateway IP Address
is determined to be unreachable by the Netopia R910.
A static route that is already installed in the IP routing table will be removed if any of the conditions listed above
become true for that static route. However, an enabled static route is automatically reinstalled once the
conditions listed above are no longer true for that static route.
