Step 8: Creating the route

 

Creating the default route enables the packet to exit the virtual Ethernet network.

To create the default route, follow these steps:

1. On the command line on partition A, type CFGTCP, and then press Enter.

2. Select Option 2 (Work with TCP/IP Routes), and then press Enter.

3. Select Option 1 (Add), and then press Enter.

4. At the Route destination prompt, type *DFTROUTE.

5. At the Subnet mask prompt, type *NONE.

6. At the Next hop prompt, type '10.1.1.74'.

   Packets from partition A travel over the virtual Ethernet to the 10.1.1.74 interface using this default route. Because 10.1.1.74 is associated with the external proxy ARP interface 10.1.1.15, the packets continue out of the virtual Ethernet using the proxy ARP interface.
