Note:

If there is an entry or entries in the Routing table with an Index of zero ( 0 ), these are System entries. You can not modify or delete these entries.

Settings – Static Routing

Entry Index

If adding a new entry, ignore this field.

 

To edit an existing entry, select it from the list, and click the "Select" button.

 

The screen will then update with the data for the selected entry.

 

If the Index is 0, this is a System entry which you can neither delete nor

 

modify.

Network

The network address of the remote LAN segment. For standard class "C" LANs,

Address

the network address is the first 3 fields of the Destination IP Address. The 4th

 

(last) field can be left at 0.

Netmask

The Network Mask for the remote LAN segment. For class "C" networks, the

 

default mask is 255.255.255.0

Gateway

The IP Address of the Gateway or Router which the Load Balancer must use to

 

communicate with the destination above. (NOT the router attached to the remote

 

segment.)

Interface

Select the correct interface, usually "LAN". The "WAN" interface is only available

 

if NAT (Network Address Translation) is disabled.

Metric

The number of "hops" (routers) to pass through to reach the remote LAN

 

segment. The shortest path will be used.

Configuring Other Routers on your LAN

All traffic for devices not on the local LAN must be forwarded to the Load Balancer, so that they can be forwarded to the Internet. This is done by configuring other Routers to use the Load Balancer as the Default Route or Default Gateway, as illustrated by the example below.
