telindus1031/router/alternativeRoutes
Use this attribute to determine how the Telindus 1031 Router deals with
identical routes.
If more than one route to a (sub-)network is defined in the routing table, and these routes have …
• identical destination addresses, masks, preferences and metrics,
• a different gateway,
… then you can use the
alternativeRoutes
attribute to determine which route the Telindus 1031 Router uses
to reach the (sub-)network.
The alternativeRoutes attribute has the following values:
telindus1031/router/ripUpdateInterval
Use this attribute to set the interval the Telindus 1031 Router transmits RIP
update messages.
Normally, RIP update messages are transmitted every 30 seconds. It is possible to change this interval.
However, changing this interval will also change the lifetime of routes learnt through RIP. If a RIP route
is received for the last time, it is declared down after 6 times the
ripUpdateInterval
. After the route is down,
it is deleted after 4 times the ripUpdateInterval .
Value Description
backup
The Telindus 1031 Router always uses the same route to reach the (sub-)network.
Only when this route goes down, it uses the alternative route.
roundRobin
The Telindus 1031 Router alternately uses the two possible routes to reach the
(sub-)network. However, once a certain route is used to reach a specific address,
this same route is always used to reach this specific address.
