Compex Technologies NetPassage 15B manual Configuring Routing Protocol

Chapter 3 Configuring NetPassage 15B

3.4Configuring Routing Protocol

Compex NetPassage 15B allows the network administrator to add a static routing entry into the routing table. Other than the default gateway to the Internet, NetPassage 15B may reroute the IP packets to another network. This is very useful for a network with more than one router.

CAUTION

If you are configuring NetPassage 15B for broadband Internet sharing, you DO NOT need to configure any routing information. The default routing settings of NetPassage 15B are sufficient for broadband Internet sharing. Improper routing configuration will cause undesired effect.

For example, if you have two routers in the network, where one functions as an Internet gateway and the other as a gateway to a remote office. You may define a static route in NetPassage 15B to re-route the packets to the remote office. Refer to Figure 3.4-1.

Figure 3.4-1

Network with multiple gateways. One to the

Internet and the other to the remote office.

In this network, the main office of subnet 192.168.168.0 contains two routers, one connected to the broadband Internet via NetPassage 15B (IP 192.168.168.1) and the other connected to a remote office via NetPassage 11A (IP 192.168.168.254). The remote location resides on subnet 192.168.100.0. You may add a static routing entry into NetPassage 15B’s routing table to point the gateway 192.168.168.254 to subnet 192.168.100.0. Once added, packets with destination IP address of 192.168.100.X will be re-routed to NetPassage 11A (IP 192.168.168.254).
