Note: Configurations with the same IP subnet on multiple interfaces (Ethernet or PPP)
are not currently supported.
Gateway
Hostname & Name Servers
Default IP address of the router for this network.
If this has not been set manually, any gateway acquired by DHCP for Eth1 or Eth2
displays.
All network traffic that matches the Eth1 IP address and subnet mask is sent out
Eth1. All network traffic that matches the Eth2 IP address and subnet mask is sent
out Eth 2.
If you set a default gateway, any network traffic that does not match Eth1 or Eth2 is
sent to the default gateway for routing.
DHCP-Acquired Gateway acquired by DHCP for Eth1 or Eth2. View only.
GPRS-Acquired Displays the IP address of the router if it has been automatically assigned by
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). View only.
Precedence Indicates whether the gateway acquired by DHCP or the default gateway takes
precedence. The default is DHCP Gateway. If the DHCP Gateway is selected and
both Eth1 and Eth2 are configured for DHCP, the SLC console manager gives
precedence to the Eth1 gateway.
Alternate An alternate IP address of the router for this network, to be used if an IP address
usually accessible through the default gateway fails to return one or more pings.
IP Address to Ping IP address to ping to determine whether to use the alternate gateway.
Ethernet Port to Ping Ethernet port to use for the ping.
Delay between Pings Number of seconds between pings
Number of Failed
Pings
Number of pings that fail before the SLC unit uses the alternate gateway.
Enable IP
Forwarding
IP forwarding enables network traffic received on one interface (Eth1, Eth2, or an
external/USB modem attached to the SLC device with an active PPP connection) to
be transferred out another interface (any of the above). The default behavior (if IP
forwarding is disabled) is for network traffic to be received but not routed to another
destination.
Enabling IP forwarding is required if you enable Network Address Translation (NAT)
for any device port modem or USB/ISDN modem. IP forwarding allows a user
accessing the SLC console manager over a modem to access the network
connected to Eth1 or Eth2.
Hostname
The default host name is
slcXXXX, where XXXX is the last 4 characters of the
hardware address of Ethernet Port 1. There is a 64-character limit (contiguous
characters, no spaces). The host name becomes the prompt in the command line
interface.
Domain If desired, specify a domain name (for example, support.lantronix.com). The domain
name is used for host name resolution within the SLC unit. For example, if abcd is
specified for the SMTP server, and mydomain.com is specified for the domain, if
abcd cannot be resolved, the SLC device attempts to resolve
abcd.mydomain.com for the SMTP server.
