Configuring Static Routes

Use the Add / Edit Static Route Configuration page to configure a static route.
To open this page: From the Network > Routing > Static Routes page, click Add
or select a route and then click Edit.
Enter this information:
• Route Name—Enter a name to identify this routing in the Static Route table.
• Active—If a route is to be immediately active, check Enable. If Enable is not
checked, the route is added in an inactive state. It will be listed in the routing
table, but will not be used by the RV220W. The route can be enabled later.
This feature is useful if the network that the route connects to is not available
when you add the route. When the network becomes available, the route can
be enabled.
• Private—Check the Enable box to mark this route as private, which means
that it will not be shared in a Routing Information Protocol (RIP) broadcast or
multicast. Uncheck this box if the route can be shared with other routers
when RIP is enabled.
• Destination IP Address—Enter the IP address of the destination host or
network to which the route leads. For a standard Class C IP domain, the
network address is the first three fields of the Destination LAN IP; the last
field should be zero.
• IP subnet mask—Enter the IPv4 Subnet Mask for the destination host or
network. For Class C IP domains, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
• Interface—Choose the physical network interface through which this route
is accessible (WAN, LAN, or a VLAN you have created).
• Gateway IP Address—Enter the IP Address of the gateway through which
the destination host or network can be reached. If this router is used to
connect your network to the Internet, then your gateway IP is the router's IP
address. If you have another router handling your network's Internet
connection, enter the IP address of that router instead.
• Metric—Enter a value between 2 and 15 to define the priority of the route. If
multiple routes to the same destination exist, the route with the lowest metric
is chosen.
