Routing Table
The static routing table allows the internet server to co- exist on the same network with a router. This implementation depends on whether the router has its own WAN access to the internet.
If the router does not have a connection to the internet, then you do not need to create a new IP network or IP sub- net. You simply need to add the internet server to the existing LAN and configure the router to use the Local LAN IP address of the internet server as its default gate- way. In the internet server, you must add static routes into the routing table to the other IP networks or IP subnets that the router is routing between. Use the router’s LAN IP address as the gateway for the static routes to the other IP networks or IP subnets that the internet server does not belong to. Doing this enables computers on the same IP network as the internet server to communicate with the computers on the other local IP networks or IP subnets.
If your router has its own connection to the internet then you must create a new IP network or IP subnet. All computers on the new IP network will use the internet server to access the internet. Computers remaining on the preexisting IP network will continue to use the router for internet access. In this configuration, the internet server can ease the burden for internet bandwidth on the router. However, for computers on the new IP network to commu- nicate with computers on the old one, you must create a static route in the internet server’s routing table. When do- ing this, the IP address of the static route will be the preexisting IP address and the gateway will be the LAN port of the router.
