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 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 Wireless 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, |
| configure for RIP version 2, and then click “Properties”. |
| — On the “General” tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to “RIP |
| version 2 broadcast,” and Incoming packet protocol to “RIP |
| version 1 and 2.” |
Routing Screen The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Administration menu.
Using this Screen
Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routing Table, as explained above, although is it possible to use both methods simultaneously.
