Static Route MXe controller

[danramirez]

Hi,

3300 MXe MCD 6 SP1.

I am pretty sure the answer to the following is no but just wanted to double check with you. I will also open a ticket with the support guys.

This customer's 3300 has got an IP address, mask and gateway. He is asking if one can specify a static route on the 3300 so traffic to say 192.168.15.0/24 will use a different next hope than the default gateway.

Daniel

Nope, there is a IP routes table but this is only when using the WAN port on controller as the gateway I believe and even then the only gateway it will allow is the gateway set in system IP properties. I am curious to why you would want the 3300 to do this and not a router......?

Hi Bob, it's not me... it's one of our customers that is asking.

The way that I would do it is by setting a Gateway for the 3300, and then that router would have static Routes, etc.

As far as I know the 3300 is not a router, that's why it doesn't have routing capabilities.

Thanks for your reply any way, I just wanted to double check something I already knew.

Regards,

Daniel

You can actually set static routes from the console but they will not survive a reboot.

Memory fails me on the commands though.

As for the customer, been there done that, too cheap to do it right.

As you say the 3300 is not a router. It is not involved in IP calls other then setup and tear down so even if you could it wouldn't alter the flow of the RTP packets. The best you can do is define the router in the phones DHCP options. I hope to hell the person asking is not in IT cause it shows a certain lack of understanding in how most VoIP works. I share your pain.

I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.
