Other Routers on the Local LAN

Other routers on the local LAN must use VRT-401’s Local Router as the Default Route. The entries will be the same as VRT-401’s local router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.

∙For a router with a direct connection to VRT-401’s local Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of VRT-401’s local router.

∙For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching VRT- 401’s local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router.
