5.3 Application program configuration
Based on years of customers experience for different applications, besides SNMP, DDNS,
H8956 Cellular router has developed many functions for wireless network equipment, such as
ICMP check, interface flow check function, M2M terminal management function, task
management function and waking on demand function.
5.3.1 ICMP check
There is fake link (can get IP after dialing, but cannot link to destination address). Usually
LCP is used to avoid this. Besides LCP, H8956 Cellular router can use another more reliable
checking way ICMP which check the link by PING. When abnormal link is checked, the
preset action will be executed to recover the link and systems quickly. Initially ICMP is to
check wireless link, and now it can be used to check VPN link and supports simultaneous
check in different rules. It supports maximum 10 ICMP check rules.
Step 1 Log-on WEB GUI of H8956 Cellular router .
Step 2 Click “applications > ICMP Check”.

5.5.3 Static Routing
Static routing can forward packets according that the user configure specific forwarding path
manually. Static Routing form is divided into static routing and policy routing, static routing
- 71 -
(2014-07-01)
is based on the destination address as an alternative route; while policy route is based on the
source address that match with the policy to forward the packets (forwarding router detects
the received packet's source address, and then according to the source that match the
appropriate address of policy route to forward) and policy routing priority, use numbers 3 to
252 to differentiate, the smaller number with higher priority. And there are priorities between
static routing and policy routing: policy routing higher priority than static routing.

Static routing will select the route to forward according to the destination address of the packet receive
from the router, if the router received the packet(source address is 1.1.1.1 destination address is 2.2.2.2),
It will forward the packet to next hop according to the route which meet with the destination
address(2.2.2.2).
Policy routing will forward according to the source address of the packet, if the router received the
packet(source address is 1.1.1.1 destination address is 2.2.2.2), it will forward the packet to next hop
according to the route which meet with the source address(1.1.1.1).
Policy routing higher priority than static routing, policy-based routing priority regardless of how much.

RIP is an interior gateway protocol. In the national networks ( such as the current Internet ) , has a lot for
the entire network routing protocols. Only adjacent routers exchange information. If the communication
between the two routers do not go through another router , the two routers are adjacent. RIP agreement,
without the exchange of information between non-adjacent routers.
Routers exchanging information is all the information currently known to the router . That is its own
routing table. At a fixed time to exchange routing information ( such as every 30 seconds ) , then the
router receives the routing information to update the routing table.
RIP protocol "distance" also known as " hops " (hop count), because each through a router hop count is
incremented . RIP is considered a good route it through a small number of routers , namely, " a short
distance ." RIP allows a path can contain up to 15 routers. Therefore, the "distance" equal to 16 hop
which is equivalent unreachable. RIP visible only for small Internet.

OSPF is a link-state (Link-state) routing protocol, commonly used for the same routing domain. Here,
the routing domain is an autonomous system, which refers to the routers can switch routing information
through a unified network switching or routing protocol routing policy in the AS, all OSPF routers
maintains an identical description of the database structure AS, which is stored in the database link status
information corresponding routing domain, OSPF router is through this database to calculate its OSPF
routing table.
As a link-state routing protocol, OSPF link state broadcast data LSA (Link State Advertisement) sent to
all routers in an area, which is different from the distance vector routing protocols. Distance vector
routing protocol passed some or all rouing information of the routing table to the adjacent routers.
