Routing
Router Configuration It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to
the FBR-1700TX, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN,
or Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the
FBR-1700TX as the Default Route or Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the FBR-
1700TX. This router requires that the Default Route is the FBR-1700TX
itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should
be configured as follows.
Destination IP Address Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router
documentation.
Network Mask Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router
documentation.
Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the FBR-1700TX.
Metric 1
Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use the FBR-1700TX's Local Router as
the Default Route. The entries will be the same as the FBR-1700TX's local
router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.
• For a router with a direct connection to the FBR-1700TX's local Router,
the Gateway IP Address is the address of the FBR-1700TX's local router.
• For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching
the IP FBR-1700TX's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address
of the intermediate router.
