3.3.4.3.5.1 Static routes<br />

General Reference Guide <strong>eWON</strong> Configuration<br />

Figure 47: <strong>eWON</strong> PPP Router logon screen<br />

Before the firmware 5.2, it was only possible to configure a default gateway to reach a given destination node when not located on the <strong>eWON</strong>'s<br />

physical network.<br />

This feature adds the ability to configure 3 additional entries in <strong>eWON</strong>'s routing tables (static routes).<br />

The <strong>eWON</strong> will forward packets using these routing entries when the IP packet destination matches one of the routing destination entries. The<br />

default gateway if specified will only be used when no routing entry matches the destination.<br />

Static routes table<br />

The destination IP address and the mask represent a range of addresses that must be routed<br />

through a specific gateway.<br />

ex: dest=192.168.1.0 & mask=255.255.255.0 correspond to the range of address between<br />

192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.255<br />

This is the IP address of the gateway that must be used to route the range of address defined<br />

by Destination/Mask.<br />

Important: the Gateway address must be in the IP range of the <strong>eWON</strong> interface.<br />

In other words, the Gateway must be accessible by the <strong>eWON</strong>.<br />

For example if the IP address is 10.0.0.53/255.255.255.0, the gateway can be 10.0.0.254, but<br />

it CANNOT be 192.168.1.1.<br />

This is the number of hops to reach the destination using the given route. This parameter will<br />

define the priority of the routes. The <strong>eWON</strong> local routes (routes that do not require the<br />

emission of a packet through an interface) have a 0 hop metric. A route where the destination<br />

can be reached through the interface has a 1 hop metric.<br />

The higher the metric is, the lower the route's priority will be.<br />

Clear (button) The clear button can be used to invalidate the route entry content and remove the route.<br />

Important: The route configuration is applied immediately when the update button is pushed. It is not required to reboot the <strong>eWON</strong><br />

to apply the routes modification.<br />

note: The default gateway is NOT defined using these configuration variables (Ethernet Gateway is used instead).<br />
