Figure 60. Add Default Gateway settings.
•
Gateway
—Enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway that will act as the default
gateway for this SpeedNet ME Radio. The gateway will be the IP address of the
wireless interface of a SpeedNet ME Radio.
•
Add
—After entering the details of the default gateway, click the
Add
button to add the
default gateway to the route table.
•
Cancel
—Click the

ARP Tab
Figure 61. Address Resolution Protocol IP routing configuration window.
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used to associate an IP address to a device’s
corresponding MAC address. The
ARP
tab, shown in Figure 61, is used to view existing
ARP table entries, as well as to add or delete ARP table entries. The following parameters
can be configured:
•
Address Resolution Protocol Table
—The Address Resolution Protocol table pro-
vides a list of current ARP entries. An ARP entry consists of two pieces of information:
an IP address and a MAC address.
•
IP Address
—To create a static ARP entry, enter the IP address of the device into the
IP Address field.
•
MAC Address
—Enter the MAC address of the device into the
MAC Address
field.
•
Add
—After entering the IP address and MAC address into the corresponding fields,
click the
Add
button to add the ARP entry to the Address Resolution Protocol.
•
Delete
—To delete an ARP entry from the table, first select the entry. Then, click the
Delete
button to remove the entry from the ARP table.
Note that most devices attached to a SpeedNet Ethernet port will automatical-
ly participate in ARP exchanges with the radio to associate their IP addresses with
their MAC addresses. As such, it is unusual for SpeedNet ME Radio users to edit this
table. The edit capability exists to enable IP communication from the SpeedNet
Radios to/from devices that do not support ARP.
