Deleting a static route

To delete a static route, select Delete Static Route in the Static Routes screen to display a table of static routes. Select a static route from the table and press Return to delete it. To exit the table without deleting the selected static route, press the Escape key.

Rules of static route installation

The Netopia Router applies certain rules before installing enabled static routes in the IP routing table. An enabled static route will not be installed in the IP routing table if any of the following conditions are true:

■The static route’s Next Gateway IP Address matches the IP address used by a connection profile or the Netopia Router’s Ethernet port.

■The static route’s Next Gateway IP Address matches an IP address in the range of IP addresses being distributed by MacIP or DHCP.

■The static route’s Next Gateway IP Address is determined to be unreachable by the Netopia Router.

■The static route’s route information conflicts with a connection profile’s route information.

■The connection profile associated with the static route is set for dial-in connections only, and there is no incoming call connected to that connection profile.
