IP Route Settings

The IP Office acts as the default gateway for its DHCP clients. It can also be specified as the default gateway for devices with static IP addresses on the same subnet as the IP Office. When devices on LAN1 and LAN2 want to send data to IP addresses on a different subnet, they will send that data to their default gateway for onward routing.

The IP Route table is used by the IP Office to determine where data traffic should be forwarded. This is done by matching details of the destination IP address to IP Route entries and then using the Destination specified by the matching IP route. These are referred to as 'static routes'.

•

Automatic Routing (RIP)
The IP Office can support RIP (Routing Information Protocol) on LAN1 and or LAN2. This is a method through which the IP Office can automatically learn routes for data traffic from other routers that also support matching RIP options, see RIP. These are referred to as 'dynamic routes'.

•	Dynamic versus Static Routes By default, static routes entered into the IP Office override any dynamic routes it learns by the use of RIP. This behavior is controlled by the Favor RIP Routes over static routes option on the System \| System tab.

•	Static IP Route Destinations The IP Office allows the following to be used as the destinations for IP routes:

•	LAN1 Direct the traffic to the IP Office's LAN1.

•	LAN2 On IP Office Small Office Edition, IP412 and IP500 systems, traffic can be directed to LAN2. For IP Office 4.1+, LAN port 8 on IP406 V2 control units can be enabled as LAN2.

•	Service Traffic can be directed to a service. The service defines the details necessary to connect to a remote data service.

•	Logical LAN Traffic can be directed to a logical LAN already added to the configuration.

•	Tunnel Traffic can be directed to an IPSec or L2TP tunnel.

•	Default Route IP Office provides two methods of defining a default route for IP traffic that does not match any other specified routes. Use either of the following methods:

•	Default Service Within the settings for services, one service can be set as the Default Route (Service \| Service).

•	Default IP Route Create an IP Route entry with a blank IP Address and blank IP Mask set to the required destination for default traffic.
