of the route definitions. To modify the static routes currently defined
on the Sidewinder G2, follow the steps below.
About the Static: Route
window
Note: Interface routes cannot be modified or deleted.
1. To change the IP address of the router that is used as your default or
"static" route, type the new address in the Default Route field. The
address must be entered using standard quad notation.
Note: If your Sidewinder G2 is defined with two DNS servers, the IP address for the
static route must be an address on the external burb.
2. Perform one of the following actions:
To add a static route, click New. The Static Route window appears.
Proceed to step 3.
To modify an existing static route, highlight the route you want to
modify and click Modify. The Static Route window appears.
Proceed to step 3.
To delete an existing static route, highlight the route you want to
delete and click Delete. When you click this button, the system
checks for any sessions that are currently using the address that
you want to delete. If the address is in use, you will not be allowed
to delete the entry. Proceed to step 8.
3. In the Entry Type field, select the type of route: Net or Host.
4. In the Net/Host Address field, type the subnet address for this route.
5. In the Gateway field, type the gateway address the route will use.
6. [Conditional] In the Net Mask field, type the network mask that will be
used for this route. This field is only available if Net is selected in the
Entry Type field.
7. Click Add to add the information you entered to the static route
definition table. (To exit the window without saving your changes, click
Close.)
8. In the Static window, click the Save icon to write all non-interface routes
to /etc/gateways and automatically add changes to the current routing
table, or click Cancel to cancel the change.
