Subnet Mask: The subnet mask associated with the destination network.

Next Gateway: The IP address of the router that will be used to reach the destination network.

Priority: An indication of whether the Netopia R9100 will use the static route when it conflicts with information received from RIP packets.

Enabled: An indication of whether the static route should be installed in the IP routing table.

Adding a static route

To add a new static route, select Add Static Route in the Static Routes screen. The Add Static Route screen will appear.

Add Static Route

Static Route Enabled:

Yes

Destination Network IP Address:

0.0.0.0

Destination Network Subnet Mask:

0.0.0.0

Configure a new Static Route in this Screen.

To install the static route in the IP routing table, select Static Route Enabled and toggle it to Yes. To remove the static route from the IP routing table, select Static Route Enabled and toggle it to No.

Be sure to read the rules on the installation of static routes in the IP routing table. See “Rules of static route installation” on page 9-15.

Select Destination Network IP Address and enter the network IP address of the destination network.

Select Destination Network Subnet Mask and enter the subnet mask used by the destination network.

Select Next Gateway IP Address and enter the IP address for the router that the Netopia R9100 will use to reach the destination network. This router does not necessarily have to be part of the destination network, but it must at least know where to forward packets destined for that network.

Select Route Priority and choose High or Low. High means that the static route takes precedence over RIP information; Low means that the RIP information takes precedence over the static route.

To make sure that the static route is known only to the Netopia R9100, select Advertise Route Via RIP and toggle it to No. To allow other RIP-capable routers to know about the static route, select Advertise
