Routing - Leviton 47611-GT4 User Manual

Routing

Overview
•
If you don't have other Routers or Gateways
page completely.
•
If the Internet Gateway is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the
"Routing" page, even if your LAN has other Routers.
•
If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g.. Cisco) on your LAN, and the Internet Gateway is
to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and
ignore the Static Routing table.
•
If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN seg-
ments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure
the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)
•
If using Windows 2000 Data Center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the
Broadband Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:
•
Open Routing and Remote Access
•
In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access , [server name], IP Routing,
RIP
•
In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version
2, and then click "Properties".
•
On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and
Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2".
Routing Screen
The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Administration menu.
Using this Screen
Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) or the Static Routing Table,
as explained above, although it is possible to use both methods simultaneously.
Static Routing Table
•
If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your
Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached.
•
The other Routers must also be configured. See Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
later in this chapter for further details and an example.
Advanced Administration
on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing"
