”Route”
Route is used where you are joining two or more different networks together via the
If more than one routing rule is needed then a Routing Table is required, e.g. Multiple networks each with a different IP range.
If only one route is required, a ‘Default Gateway IP Address’ on the Main Network Page can be configured instead of configuring a Routing Rule.
In the example below a routing rule needs to be entered into the Network A’s PC which will allow access between Network A and Network B. This is can be entered at the command prompt as per instruction below.
Route PRINT will show all active routes on PC, Route ADD will add a routing table to network,
route DELETE <DESTINATION NETMASK GATEWAY INTERFACE> will delete the unwanted routing table route CHANGE modifies an existing route.
An example of a routing table is shown for the configuration below.
Network A Settings | Client Bridge Settings |
IP Address 192.168.0.17 | Gateway IP 192.168.2.51 |
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 | Ethernet IP 192.168.2.50 |
Gateway IP 192.168.0.1 | Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 |
Wireless IP 192.168.2.50 |
|
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 |
|
Access Point Router Settings | Network B Settings |
Gateway IP 192.168.0.1 | IP Address 192.168.2.201 |
Ethernet IP 192.168.0.191 | Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 |
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 | Gateway IP 192.168.2.51 |
Wireless IP 192.168.2.051 |
|
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 |
|
In the Network A PC a routing rule is to be set.
This will allow Network A & B to have access to each other. This is entered under cmd prompt.
Route ADD 192.168.2.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.191
This says access everything on network B (192.168.2.0) with the Mask of 255.255.255.0 on Network A via the Ethernet IP Interface 192.168.0.191
IP Address 192.168.2.0 will allow everything on this network to be shared by the router. When adding a routing table you will need to enter this in. Once entered in the Router will determine whether to pass information over the router if it is addressed to do so or not. For added security MAC address filtering could be added as mentioned earlier in Section 3.
