Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX200

The Setup Tab - Advanced Routing

This tab is used to set up the Router's advanced functions. NAT Mode allows you to select the type(s) of advanced

functions you use. Static Routing sets up a fixed route to another network destination.

Advanced Routing

NAT Mode

Select the mode in which this Router will function. If this Router is hosting your network's connection to the

Internet, select Enable. If another Router exists on your network, select Disable, which will disable the DHCP

server on this Router.

Dynamic Routing

With Dynamic Routing you can enable the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's

layout. The Router, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets' route based on the fewest number of

hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other

routers on the network.

drop-down list. (A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a

specific host or network.) Enter the information described below to set up a new static route. (Click the Delete

This Entry button to delete a static route.)
