Applying the default route policy to a port

You can configure a port to listen for a default route and/or supply a default route. You can also configure a port to specify the metric (cost) of the default route, which will be advertised if the port is configured to supply a default route.

To apply the default route policy to a port:

  1. On the Device Manager, select a port.
  2. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose Edit > Port.
    3. The Port dialog box opens with the Interface tab displayed.
  3. Click the DVMRP tab.
    4. The DVMRP tab opens and displays the DVMRP configuration options.
  4. Configure the default route policy for the selected port as follows:.
    1. To set the port to listen for a default route, click the DefaultListen check box.
      2. If you do not want the port to listen for a default route, make sure the DefaultListen check box is not selected.
    2. To set the port to supply only the default route, click the DefaultSupply check box.
      3. If you do not want the port to supply only the default route, make sure that you do not select the DefaultSupply check box.
    3. To set the metric (cost) of the default route to be used when this switch advertises this default route, enter the number of hops for DVMRP in the DefaultRouteMetric field; the range is 1 to 31.
  5. Click Apply to save the new configuration.
