2.9 Route Table
The X5 includes a routing table function for users who want to set up an additional network (or networks) residing on a different subnet than the X5. Without a route table, any computer residing on an additional subnet would be invisible to the modem. The route table acts as a map for the modem, so that it directs traffic to the correct subnet location.
To access the route table function, click the Route Table button at the top of the Advanced Setup page. You will see at least three route table entries. (These entries are automatically displayed once you connect the X5.) Under Destination, you will see the IP address of the X5’s LAN interface (for example, 10.0.0.0), the IP address of the local loopback test (127.0.0.1), and the IP address of the WAN interface (for example, 192.168.1.1). Under Netmask, you will see the corresponding subnet masks for these three Destinations. Under Gateway, you will see the corresponding Gateway IP addresses. The Interface field denotes the type of interface; for example, br0 denotes Ethernet, lo0 denotes loopback, and ppp1 denotes PPP (WAN).
