Static Routing

You will need to configure Static Routing if there are multiple routers connected to your network. The static routing function determines the path data follows over your network. Static routing allows different IP domain users to access the Internet through this device. This is an advanced feature. Please proceed with caution.

To set up static routing, you should add routing entries in the Router's table that tell the device where to send all incoming packets. All of your network routers should direct the default route entry to this Router.

Enter the following data to create a static route entry:

1.Destination IP: Enter the network address of the remote LAN segment. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first three fields of the Destination LAN IP, while the last field should be zero.

2.Subnet Mask: Enter the Subnet Mask used on the destination LAN IP domain. For Class C IP domains, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.

3.Default Gateway: If this Router is used to connect your network to the Internet, then your gateway IP is the Router's IP Address. If you have another router handling your network's Internet connection, enter the IP Address of that router instead.

4.Hop Count (max. 15): This value gives the number of nodes that a data packet passes through before reaching its destination. A node is any device on the network, such as switches, PCs, etc.

5.Interface: (LAN, WAN1, WAN2/DMZ) This setting directs where the static route is going, either to a PC in your network or to the Internet. If you’re connecting to a network, select LAN. If you’re connecting to another network through the Internet, select WAN.

Click Add to list to add a route entry or click Delete Selected IP to delete the static route entry.

Click the Save Settings button to save the Routing settings, click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes or click the Show Routing Table button to view the current routing table.

Clicking the Show Routing Table button will open the Routing Table Entry List. This will show the routes you have established, with network information, number of hops for each route, and the type of interface used. Click the Refresh button to update the screen or Close to close it.
