ADD STATIC ROUTE NOWCANCEL

Configure a new Static Route in this Screen.

■To install the static route in the IP routing table, select Static Route Enabled and toggle it to Yes. To remove the static route from the IP routing table, select Static Route Enabled and toggle it to No.

■Be sure to read the rules on the installation of static routes in the IP routing table. See “Rules of static route installation” on page 10-34.

■Select Destination Network IP Address and enter the network IP address of the destination network.

■Select Destination Network Subnet Mask and enter the subnet mask used by the destination network.

■Select Next Gateway IP Address and enter the IP address for the router that the Netopia R2020 will use to reach the destination network. This router does not necessarily have to be part of the destination network, but it must at least know where to forward packets destined for that network.

■Select Route Priority and choose High or Low. High means that the static route takes precedence over RIP information; Low means that the RIP information takes precedence over the static route.

■If the static route conflicts with a connection profile, the connection profile will always take precedence.

■To make sure that the static route is known only to the Netopia R2020, select Advertise Route Via RIP and toggle it to No. To allow other RIP-capable routers to know about the static route, select Advertise Route Via RIP and toggle it to Yes. When Advertise Route Via RIP is toggled to Yes, a new item called RIP Metric appears below Advertise Route Via RIP.
