Setup > Advanced Routing

Advanced Routing

NAT

Enabled/Disabled  If this Gateway is hosting your network’s connection to the Internet, keep the default, Enabled. If another gateway or router exists on your network, select Disabled.

Dynamic Routing

RIP  This feature enables the Gateway to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout and exchange routing tables with the other router(s). The Gateway determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. Select Enabled to use the Dynamic Routing feature. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled.

RIP Version  Select the appropriate protocol version, RIP1 or RIP2.

Static Routing

Astatic route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. Enter the information described below to set up a new static route.

Select set number  To set up a static route between the Gateway and another network, select a number from the drop-down list. Click Delete This Entry to delete a static route.

Destination IP Address  The Destination IP Address is the IP address of the remote network or host to which you want to assign a static route.

Subnet Mask  The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a Destination IP Address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion.

Gateway  This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Gateway and the remote network or host.

Hop Count  This is the number of hops to each node until the destination is reached (16 hops maximum). Enter the appropriate Hop Count.
