Inbound Filter

Advanced > Inbound Filter

Inbound filters allow you to control data going through your router from the Internet. The feature allows you to control devices from your network through IP address.

1.Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page” on page 24).

2.Click on Advanced, and click on Inbound Filter.

3.Review the inbound filer settings.

•Rule Enabled: Selecting Enabled turns on the virtual server

•Action: Select which rule you would like to apply, Allow or Deny data.

•IP Address: Enter the IP address of the device to forward the port (e.g. 192.168.10.101).

Advanced > Routing

You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate between the two separate networks, static routing needs to be configured. Below is an example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network to access the other network.

Note: Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general networking knowledge.

1.Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page” on page 24).

2.Click on Advanced, and click on Routing.

3.Review the static route settings.

•Destination IP Address: Enter the IP network address of the destination network for the route. (e.g. 192.168.20.0)

•Destination IP Netmask: Enter the subnet mask of the destination network for the route.(e.g. 255.255.255.0)

•Gateway: Enter the gateway to the destination network for the route. (e.g. 192.168.10.2)

•Metric: Enter the metric or priority of the route. The metric range is 1-15, the lowest number 1 being the highest priority. (e.g. 1 )

•Interface: Click the drop-down list and select the Interface on your router where the route is active. (e.g. LAN)

•Add: Saves the static route.

Enable dynamic routing on your router

Advanced > Routing

You may want to setup your router to route computers or devices on your network to other local networks through other routers. If other routers support dynamic routing such as RIP (Routing Information Protocol), you can enable this feature on your router to automatically learn the required routes to reach those networks. It is required that
