Advanced Tab: Static Routing

Important: Static Routing is an Advanced Function. No changes should be made to this tab without a thorough under- standing of networking concepts.

Figure 5-20

If the Router is connected to more than one network, it may be necessary to set up a static route between them. This is set on the Static Routing tab, as shown in Figure 5-20. A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network infor- mation must travel to reach a specific host or network. Click the Show Routing Table button to view the current static routing configuration.

To create a static route entry:

1.Select Static Route Entry from the drop-down list. The Router supports up to 20 static route entries.

2.Enter the following data to create a new static route:

Destination LAN IP. The Destination LAN IP is the address of the remote 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. If you are building a route to an entire network, be sure that the host portion of the IP address is set to zero. For example, the Router’s standard IP address is 192.168.1.1. Based on this address, the address of the network to which the Router is connected is 192.168.1. You would enter the IP address 192.168.1.0 if you wanted to route to the entire network, rather than just to the Router.

Subnet Mask. The Subnet Mask indicates which portion of an IP address is the network portion and which portion is the host portion. If, for instance, you use a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 with the example shown above for Destination LAN IP, then this would indicate that the first three numbers of an network IP address identifies this particular network, while the last number in the network address (from 1 to 254) would identify the specific host.

Gateway IP. This IP address should be the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Router and the remote network or host.

Hop Count. This value gives the number of nodes that a data packet pass- es through before reaching its destination. A node is any device

on the network, such as switches, PCs, etc.

Interface. This interface tells you whether your network is on the internal LAN or the WAN, or the external Internet. If you’re connecting to a sub- network, select LAN. If you’re connecting to another network through the Internet, select WAN.

To delete a Static Routing entry, select an entry, and click the Delete this entry button.

To clear any values you’ve entered on any page, click the Cancel button. To apply any settings you’ve altered on any page, click the Apply button.
