ROUTING BEHAVIOR COMPARED TO PREVIOUS RELEASES
Prior to release 7.10, the UR did not have an explicit manner of configuring routes. The only available route was the default
route configured as part of the network settings (port gateway IP address). This limited the ability to route to specific desti-
nations, particularly if these destinations were reachable through a different interface than the one on which the default
gateway was.
Starting with UR 7.10, up to six static network routes can be configured in addition to a default route. The default route con-
figuration was also moved from the network settings into the routing section.
The figure shows an example of topology that benefits from the addition of static routes.
Figure 5–8: USING STATIC ROUTES
In the figure, the UR connects through the following two Ethernet ports:
•
Port 1 (IP address 10.1.1.2) connects the UR to LAN 10.1.1.0/24 and to the Internet through Router1. Router 1 has an
interface on 10.1.1.0/24 and the IP address of this interface is 10.1.1.1.
•
Port 2 (IP address 10.1.2.2) connects the UR to LAN 10.1.2.0/24 and to the EnerVista software through Router 2.
Router 2 has an interface on 10.1.2.0/24 and the IP address of this interface is 10.1.2.1.
The configuration before release 7.10 was as follows:
•
PRT1 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.1.2
PRT1 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
PRT1 GWY IP ADDRESS = 10.1.1.1
PRT2 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.2.2
PRT2 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
The behavior before release 7.10 was as follows. When sending packets to EnerVista, the UR noticed that the destination
was not on a connected network and it tried to find a route to destination. Since the default route was the only route it knew,
it used it. Yet EnerVista was on a private network, which was not reachable through Router 1. Hence a destination unreach-
able message was received from the router.
The configuration starting release 7.10 is as follows:
•
PRT1 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.1.2
PRT1 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
PRT2 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.2.2
PRT2 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
IPV4 DEFAULT ROUTE: GATEWAY ADDRESS = 10.1.1.1
STATIC NETWORK ROUTE 1: RT1 DESTINATION = 10.1.3.0/24; RT1 NET MASK = 255.255.255.0; and RT1 GATE-
WAY = 10.1.2.1
