Chapter 5 Advanced Setup
Dynamic Routing
Selecting Dynamic Routing in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the “Dynamic Routing” screen. Dynamic routing allows the exchange of routing tables between routers. This relieves the user of having to set up static routes for each router.
If a router is set up behind the Gateway in the network configuration, consult the documentation that came with the router to see what kind of Dynamic Routing is required, then select the needed option.
After changing settings, click Next or Back to continue, or Save and Restart to make all changes permanent.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
Selecting NAT in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen generates the
“NAT” screen. The Gateway’s basic firewall security is based on NAT. This protocol allows computers to use different IP addresses when connected to the Gateway, and prevents outside users from easily accessing computers on the network.
Warning: Disabling NAT allows the computers connected to the Gateway to be accessed by outside parties. Do not turn NAT off unless instructed to do so by the Internet Service Provider (ISP).
