CHAPTER 6 Network Settings

Advanced Routing

The following items are displayed on this page:

Destination — A destination network or specific host to which packets can be routed.

Type — Defines the type of destination. (Options: Host/Net, Default: Host)

Gateway — The IP address of the router at the next hop to which matching frames are forwarded.

Interface — The selected interface to which a static routing subnet is to be applied.

Comment — Enters a useful comment to help identify this route.

ROUTING TABLE 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.

NOTE: The Routing Table is only available when the Mini 3G Broadband Router is set to Router Mode.

Destination — Displays all destination networks or specific hosts to which packets can be routed.

Netmask — Displays the subnetwork associated with the destination.

Gateway — Displays the IP address of the router at the next hop to which matching frames are forwarded.

Flags — Flags – Possible flags identify as below

0:reject route

1:route is up

3:route is up, use gateway

5:route is up, target is a host

7:route is up, use gateway, target is a host

Metric — A number used to indicate the cost of the route so that the best route, among potentially multiple routes to the same destination, can be selected.
