Information processing apparatus, method of controlling information processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

1. An information processing apparatus for transmitting data to an external apparatus via a plurality of different communication interfaces, the information processing apparatus comprising:

at least one memory that stores a set of instructions; and

at least one processor that executes the instructions to provide:

displaying a first screen for accepting a setting of an IP address, subnet information and a default gateway, the setting being a network setting of a first line,

displaying a second screen for accepting a setting of an IP address and subnet information, the setting being a network setting of a second line, and not accepting a setting of a default gateway,

displaying a routing setting screen for accepting a setting of a static routing path;

accepting a user operation of inputting a destination address, subnet information, and a gateway address via the routing setting screen as a setting of a static routing path,

performing control such that a static routing path indicating acommunication path to a default gateway is not set as the setting of a static routing path of the information processing apparatus via the routing setting screen, and

registering a user defined static routing path based on the input destination address, the input subnet information, and the input gateway address in a storage area, in a case where it is determined that the user defined static routing path is a communication path different from the communication path to the default gateway.

2. A method of controlling an information processing apparatus for transmitting data to an external apparatus via a plurality of different communication interfaces, the method comprising:

displaying a first screen for accepting a setting of an IP address, subnet information and a default gateway, the setting being a network setting of a first line;

displaying a second screen for accepting a setting of an IP address and subnet information, the setting being a network setting of a second line, and not accepting a setting of a default gateway;

displaying a routing setting screen for accepting a setting of a static routing path;

accepting a user operation of inputting a destination address, subnet information, and a gateway address via the routing setting screen as a setting of a static routing path;

performing control such that a static routing path indicating a communication path to a default gateway is not set as the setting of the static routing path of the information processing apparatus via the routing setting screen; and

registering a user defined static routing path based on the input destination address, the input subnet information, and the input gateway address in a storage area, in a case where it is determined that the user defined static routing path is a communication path different from the communication path to the default gateway.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising

accepting a setting of a default gateway address as network settings, based on a user operation via a second screen that is different from the routing setting screen.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising

registering a routing path indicating the communication path to the default gateway in a routing table, based on the setting of the default gateway address accepted via the second screen and the setting accepted via the first screen.

5. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising

further accepting a setting of an Internet Protocol address and a setting of a subnet mask in addition to the setting of the default gateway address via the second screen, as the network settings for a first communication interface among the plurality of different communication interfaces.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein in a case where a setting with which the network settings are made using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is accepted via the second screen, a gateway address distributed from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server on a network is set as the setting of the default gateway for the first communication interface.

7. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising

determining whether the static routing path input via the routing setting screen indicates the communication path to the default gateway.

8. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the static routing path indicating the communication path to the default gateway is path information in which information indicating a destination of data indicates a predetermined destination.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein a destination address indicating the predetermined destination is 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 .

10. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising

providing a user with a predetermined notification upon condition that a user operation for setting the static routing path indicating the communication path to the default gateway is received via the routing setting screen.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an information processing apparatus for transmitting data to an external apparatus via a plurality of different communication interfaces, the method comprising:

displaying a first screen for accepting a setting of an IP address, subnet information and a default gateway, the setting being a network setting of a first line;

displaying a second screen for accepting a setting of an IP address and subnet information, the setting being a network setting of a second line, and not accepting a setting of a default gateway;

displaying a routing setting screen for accepting a setting of a static routing path;

accepting a user operation of inputting a destination address, subnet information, and a gateway address via the routing setting screen as a setting of a static routing path;

performing control such that a static routing path indicating a communication path to a default gateway is not set as the setting of a static routing path of the information processing apparatus via the routing setting screen; and

registering a user defined static routing path based on the input destination address, the input subnet information, and the input gateway address in a storage area, in a case where it is determined that the user defined static routing path is a communication path different from the communication path to the default gateway.

12. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising registering the static routing path in a routing table, based on the user defined static routing path stored in the storage area.

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein packet data is transmitted to a gateway identified based on path information registered in the routing table.
