This port is:
- Primarily configured as a default route when altering the IP address changed through Cat® Electronic Technician (Cat ET) or the route "webpage" tab
- The only IP address that is editable on the ECM
When this address is altered, a default route will be added that consists of a destination of 0.0.0.0 and a subnet of 0.0.0.0. All traffic that is not pre-configured through the internal route table (not visible/editable by user) will by default go through this route. The gateway is configured as the same address as the gateway of this port. The metric defaults to 29 and the port is also by default set to eth0.1.0. Additional routes can be added but should not be necessary as VIMS is directing all unknown traffic to the gateway using the above route.
