For a router with a direct connection to the Router’s local Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the Router’s local router.
For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the Router’s local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router.
Example – Static Route
Here provides you an example of Static Route.
For the Router’s Routing Table
For the LAN shown above, with 2 routers and 3 LAN segments, the Router requires to add 2 static routes as follows:
ADSL Router | Destination | 192.168.10.0 |
| Subnet Mask | 255.255.255.0 (Standard Class C) |
| Gateway | 192.168.1.254 (Router B) |
