7.8 Routing
Overview
•If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" page completely.
•If the Wireless Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers.
•If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the Wireless Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.
•If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN segments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)
•If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the Broadband Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:
•Open Routing and Remote Access
•In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access , [server name], IP Routing, RIP
•In the "Details" pane,
•On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2".
