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.
