Configuring Network Settings

Static Routes

The SpeedStream DSL Router directs data traffic by “learning” source and destination information, then building a routing table. In some cases, network mappings cannot be learned because of incompatible addressing schemes. Sometimes a different source and destination path may be desired over the learned paths for example when your ISP assigns you a static route. In these situations, Static Routes can be configured to map a desired pathway.

Use the static routes advanced option to configure static routes to remote equipment. Static routing allows a pre-defined route to be set for the transmission of data. Static routes take precedence over all dynamic routing options and also provide enhanced security over dynamic routing.

To configure a static route:

1.Select Setup>Static Routes from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the “Static Route Configuration” window.

2.Under Add Route, type the IP address of the destination device in the Destination box.

3.Type the net mask of the destination device in the Net Mask box.

4.Optionally, type the IP address where the data packets will be forwarded in the Next Hop box.

5.Select a connection type from the Interface drop-down menu. This is the interface that will forward the packets.

6.Click Apply. The system responds by adding your new route to the routing table.

7.You can repeat this procedure for each static route you wish to add.

Note: To edit a static route, click the Edit column for the static route you want to edit.

Note: To delete a static route, click the Delete column for the static route you want to delete.
