Static Routing:
You may set up a static route if your want to connect your router to more than one network. A static route is a
Create a Static route entry as follows:
1.Select “Static Routing” from the drop down list.
2.Enter the following data to set the Static Routing:
Destination LAN IP
You can create a static route by entering the IP address of the remote host or network. If you wish to build a route to the entire network, be sure to set the network portion of the IP address to zero (0).
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask determines which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion.
Gateway IP
This is the address of the gateway device that allows for a contact between the Router and the remote network or host.
Dynamic Routing:
Dynamic Routing can be used to cache routes learned by routing protocols, thus allowing the automation of static routing maintenance. The router, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packet’s route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. In this case, you could automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout. Complete the following steps to set up dynamic Routing:
Step 1 Choose the Working Mode.
Gateway Mode means the router is served as a gateway that hosts your network’s connection to the Internet.
Router Mode means there is more than one router that exists on your network.
Step 2 Select Dynamic Routing from the drop down list and choose the protocol you wish to use on your network.
Step 3 Click the “Apply” button.
