6.6 Routing

Add a new static route to the IP routing table or edit/remove an existing route.
Static routes are unnecessary for most users. They are typically only used in networks with more than one layer, such as
when there is a network within a network so that packet destinations are hidden behind an additional router. Adding a
static route is a way of telling the router about an additional step that packets will need to take to reach their destination.
Click Add to create a new static route.
IP/Network Address: The IP address of the target
network or host.
Netmask: The Netmask, along with the IP address, defines the network the computer belongs to and which other IP
addresses the computer can see in the same LAN. An IP address of 192.168.0.1 along with a Netmask of 255.255.255.0
defines a network with 256 available IP addresses from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255.
NOTE: 255.255.255.255 is used to signify only the host that was
entered in the IP/Network Address field.
Gateway: Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route
is used. A gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies there is no next
hop, and the IP address matched is directly connected to
the router on the interface specified: LAN or WAN.
Allow Network Access: (Default: Deselected.) Some
static routes will need an IP Filter Rule via the Firewall to
allow packets through the route without being blocked.
Selecting this option automatically creates this IP Filter
Rule. If the IP/Network Address falls outside the LAN IP
range, you probably need to select this option.
Distribute: Allow this static route to be distributed via a routing protocol (Network Settings → Routing Protocols).
