It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the LevelOne Broadband Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the LevelOne Broadband Router as the Default Route or Default Gateway.

Local Router

The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the LevelOne Broadband Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the LevelOne Broadband Router itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as fol- lows.

Destination IP Address	Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.

Network Mask	Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.

Gateway IP Address	The IP Address of the LevelOne Broadband Router.

Metric	1

Other Routers on the Local LAN

Other routers on the local LAN must use the LevelOne Broadband Router's Local Router as the Default Route. The entries will be the same as the LevelOne Broadband Router's local router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.

•For a router with a direct connection to the LevelOne Broadband Router's local Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the LevelOne Broadband Router's local router.

•For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the LevelOne Broadband Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermedi- ate router.
