ROUTING CONFIGURATION
This page displays the information necessary to forward a packet along the best path toward its destination. Each packet contains information about its origin and destination. When a packet is received, a network device examines the packet and matches it to the routing table entry providing the best match for its destination. The table then provides the device with instructions for sending the packet to the next hop on its route across the network.
Figure 69: Static Routing
The following items are displayed on this pages:
◆Enable — Enables static routing on the ADSL Router. (Default: Enabled)
◆Destination — The network IP address of the subnet. The destination can be specified as the IP address of a subnet or a specific host in the subnet. It can also be specified as all zeros to indicate that this route should be used for all destinations for which no other route is defined.
◆Subnet Mask — The network mask of the destination subnet. The default gateway uses a mask of 0.0.0.0.
◆Next Hop — The IP address of the next hop through which traffic will flow towards the destination subnet.
