The Advanced Routing Tab

The Advanced Routing screen allows you to configure the NAT, dynamic routing, and static routing settings.

Advanced Routing

•Operating Mode. In this section, you will configure the Gateway’s general routing settings.

•NAT. NAT is a security feature that is enabled by default. It enables the Gateway to translate IP addresses of your local area network to a different IP address for the Internet. To disable NAT, click the Disabled radio button.

•RIP. If you have multiple routers, you may want to use the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) so the routers can exchange routing information with each other. To use RIP, select the Enabled radio button. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled.

•Send Default Route. To use RIP version 1 for routing, select the Enabled radio button. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled.

•Interface. This setting is available when you have configured a static route and you need to choose an interface for that route. Select the interface that the Gateway will be using: LAN/Wireless or Internet.

•Dynamic Routing. With Dynamic Routing you can enable the Gateway to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout. Using RIP, the Gateway 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 Gateways on the network.

•Transmit RIP Version. To transmit RIP messages, select the protocol you want: RIP1, RIP1-Compatible, or RIP2. If you don’t want to transmit RIP messages, select None.

•Receive RIP Version. To receive RIP messages, select the protocol you want: RIP1 or RIP2. If you don’t want to receive RIP messages, select None.

•Multicast or Broadcast. RIP can be sent using either methods. If you want to use multicasting, select Multicast. If you want to use Broadcast, select Broadcast.

•Static Routing. If the Gateway is connected to more than one network, it may be necessary to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. To create a static route, change the following settings:
