4.6.8 Static Routing

If the Lynx L-210 is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-defined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the Lynx L-210.

The New Destination IP is the address of the remote LAN network or host to which you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to create a static route here. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first three fields of the New Destination IP, while the last field should be 0. The Subnet Mask identifies which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. The Gateway IP address should be the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Gateway and the remote network or host. The Hop Count determines the maximum number of steps between network nodes that data packets will travel. A node is any device on the network (such as a router or switch)

To enable Static Routing, from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Static Routing. Figure 17 illustrates a typical Static Route.

The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent you need to click on Save Settings (at the side of the page). At the system commands page, click on Save All.

4.6.9 Dynamic Routing

Dynamic Routing allows the Lynx L-210 to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network. The Lynx L-210, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other Lynx L-210s on the network.

The Direction determines the direction that RIP routes will be updated. Selecting In means that the Lynx L-210 will only incorporate received RIP information. Selecting Out means that the Lynx L-210
