Routing configuration

You can add a route to your DNS server and Gateway IP.

Perform the following steps if you do not know the IP address of the master console gateway:
  1. Open a command prompt window.
  2. Issue the following command:
    route print

    At the bottom of the table the gateway is specified as the Default Gateway.

For every DNS server that is used by the master console, a specific route must be configured. You must configure a specific route for every device that you want to manage from the master console.
Note: If these routes are not configured, the master console cannot contact devices that are on a different subnet.

Perform the following steps to add the route for your DNS server:

  1. Issue the following command:
    route -p add DNS_Server_IP_Address MASK Gateway_IP_Address

    Where DNS_Server_IP_Address is the DNS server IP address for Local Area Connection 2 and Gateway_IP_Address is the IP address of the gateway for Local Area Connection 2.

  2. Issue the following command to add the routes for the other managed devices:
    route -p add DNS_Server_IP_Address MASK Gateway_IP_Address

    Where DNS_Server_IP_Address is the DNS server IP address of the device that you want to manage and Gateway_IP_Address is the IP address of the gateway for the device that you want to manage.
