Routing

Routing Table Data

An entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached. The data in the Routing Table is as follows.

Destination	The network address of the remote LAN segment.
IP Address	For standard class "C" LANs, the network address is the first 3 fields of
	this Destination IP Address. The 4th (last) field can be left at 0.
Network Mask	The Network Mask used on the remote LAN segment. For class "C"
	networks, the standard Network Mask is 255.255.255.0
Gateway	The IP Address of the Router on the LAN segment to which this device is
IP Address	attached. (NOT the router on the remote LAN segment.)
Interface	Select the appropriate interface - LAN (Internal LAN) or WAN (Exter-
	nal LAN or WAN) from the drop-down list.
Metric	The number of routers which must be traversed to reach the remote LAN
	segment. The default value is 1.

Router Configuration

It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the CNWR- 811P, 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 CNWR-811P as the Default Route or Default Gateway.

Local Router

The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the CNWR-811P. This router requires that the Default Route is the CNWR-811P itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows.

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 CNWR-811P.
Metric	1

Other Routers on the Local LAN

Other routers on the local LAN must use the CNWR-811P’s Local Router as the Default Route. The entries will be the same as the CNWR-811P's local router, with the exception of the Gate- way IP Address.

•For a router with a direct connection to the CNWR-811P's local Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the CNWR-811P's local router.

•For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the CNWR- 811P's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router.
