  The Gateway field of the static route entry allows users to either enter a Gateway IP address 
or select a Network Interface. 
 
  All user-defined routes retained in the CPE memory, regardless if they are already in the 
Routing Table, are displayed on the same Route Table page. 
 
  All user defined route entries kept in the CPE memory during run time are saved to flash 
when the user chooses to save and reboot the CPE. When the CPE restarts, it reloads all 
saved user-defined routes to the CPE memory and tries to apply to the system. 
 
  A user-defined route entry is added to the Routing Table whenever the system provides an 
environment that makes the route entry applicable. It is removed from the Routing Table 
whenever the route entry becomes not applicable. e.g. If the route entry’s Gateway is 
associated with a dynamic Network Interface but the connection is not established, then the 
route entry does not appear in the Routing Table. When that interface comes up later, the 
route entry is then added. 
 
  If the selected Network Interface is static or dynamic and the connection is already up, then 
the route entry appears in the Routing Table immediately. If there is a Gateway associated 
with the selected Network Interface, then that Gateway’s IP address appears in the Gateway 
field of the route entry. 
 
If the selected Network Interface is dynamic but the connection is not established, then the 
route entry does not appear in the Routing Table. When the interface comes up later, the 
route entry is then added. 
 
6.4.1 System Default Gateway Configuration 
The system-wide Default Gateway provides three options: Auto (default), User-selected Network 
Interface, and None. 
 
  None: It allows you to choose to have no Default Gateway in the CPE. 
  Auto (default): It allows you to enable the Router to automatically decide the Default 
Gateway. 
  User-selected Network Interface: It allows you to select a Network Interface from a list 
(PVCs, PPP Sessions and LAN). This option allows you to associate the system-wide 
Default Gateway to a Network Interface, static or dynamic, and provides a way to fix the 
Default Gateway to a dynamic Network Interface before the interface is established. 
The options for this field are IP PVC0 ... IP PVC7, IP Ethernet 0, IP BridgeMux0, and 
any PPP session that was created by the user. 
 
  Specify IP: It allows you to specify the IP address of the default gateway. 
 
6.4.2 Route Configuration 
Destination: It allows you to enter the remote network or host IP address for the static routing. 
 
Netmask: It allows you to enter the Subnet Mask for the static routing. 
 
Gateway: It allows you to enter the IP address of the gateway device that allows the router to 
contact the remote network or the host for Specified IP or select an Interface for the Gateway. 
 
Manually Configured Routes: It displays the static route entries entered by the user.
