My appologies in advance if these are silly questions. I have only used consumer grade routers before.
ERX is in WAN+2LAN2 setup. PPPOE connection to bridged modem on eth0.
In ERX web interface -> "Routing" tab -> "Routes" tab:
There are three lines related to pppoe0:
1. Destination: 0.0.0.0/0 Interface: pppoe0 Route Type: kernel
2. Destination: (an external IP I don't know) InterfaceImage may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.ppoe0 Route Type: connected
3. Destination: (public ip for my own ADSL connection) Interface: pppoe0 Route Type: connected
Should I be worried about the second line? Why does it say that my router is connected to an external IP I don't know? I did an IP search on this external IP and it does not appear to have anything to do with my ISP. I tried a random trace on the ERX; this external IP appears as the first stop in trace before my ISP's servers.
Second question:
A few external IPs sometimes show up in the "Traffic Analysis" tab as hosts. I am not sure why these would appear.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
