2. Refer to the access point Router Table field to view existing routes.
The access point Router Table field displays a list of connected routes between an enabled
subnet and the router. These routes can be changed by modifying the IP address and subnet
masks of the enabled subnets.
The information in the access point Router Table is dynamically generated from settings
applied on the WAN screen. The destination for each subnet is its IP address. The subnet
mask (or network mask) and gateway settings are those belonging to each subnet. Displayed
interfaces are those associated with destination IP addresses. To change any of the network
address information within the WAN screen, see Configuring WAN Settings on page 5-16.
3. From the Use Default Gateway drop-down menu, select the WAN or either of the two
LANs (if enabled) to server as the default gateway to forward data packets from one network
to another.
4. To set or view the RIP configuration, click the RIP Configuration button.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an interior gateway protocol that specifies how routers
exchange routing-table information. The Router screen also allows the administrator to
select the type of RIP and the type of RIP authentication used by the switch. For more
information on configuring RIP, see Setting the RIP Configuration on page 5-67.
5. Use the User Defined Routes field to add or delete static routes.
The User Defined Routes field allows the administrator to view, add or delete internal static
(dedicated) routes.
a. Click the Add button to create a new table entry.
b. Highlight an entry and click the Del (delete) button to remove an entry.
c. Specify the destination IP address, subnet mask, and gateway information for the
internal static route.
d. Select an enabled subnet from the Interface(s) column’s drop-down menu to complete
the table entry. Information in the Metric column is a user-defined value (from 1 to
65535) used by router protocols to determine the best hop routes.
6. Click the Apply button to save the changes.
7. Click Logout to securely exit the access point applet. A prompt displays confirming the
logout before the applet is closed.
