5.3.7 Routing Table

This page displays the routing entries of the Router. You can modify (Delete/Add) static routing entries here.

If the Router is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-defined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the Router.

Destination: Destination IP is the address of the remote LAN 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.

Netmask: Netmask identifies which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the Netmask is 255.255.255.0.

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

Cost: The Cost determines the maximum number of steps between network nodes that data packets will travel. A node is any device on the network (such as a router or switch).
