Figure 3-111. Network Path to NTP Server
In the diagram above, the gateway at 10.10.10.101 is referred to as the next hop, which means that it is
the next routing device in the network path.
A default static route may also be configured. The unit will forward IP packets along this route when no
other route in its routing table matches the packets' destination address. Typically, the route chosen as the
default route contains a next-hop router that leads to the backhaul network.
Configuring
Current routes may be viewed on the unit at any time by navigating to Routing on the left side of the
screen. The unit's current routes are displayed under the Status tab.

The following information is available:
 Dest Prefix – Indicates the destination network’s IP address and prefix in either IPv4 or IPv6
format.
 Next Hop – If known, the next hop router is displayed for each route.
 Outgoing Interface – This is the egress onboard network interface used for each route.
 Source – Routes are defined by either the kernel or the user (static).
To configure a static route, click the Static Routes option to navigate to Routing ---> Basic Config /
