Static Routing - NetComm NF13ACV User Manual

Static routing

Static routing is the alternative to dynamic routing used in more complex network scenarios and is used to facilitate communication
between devices on different networks. Static routing involves configuring the routers in your network with all the information
necessary to allow the packets to be forwarded to the correct destination. If you change the IP address of one of the devices in the
static route, the route will be broken.
To access the Static routing page, click on the Networking menu at the top of the screen, click on the Routing menu on the left,
then click on the Static Routing menu item.
Some routes are added by default by the router on initialization such as the Ethernet subnet route for routing to a device on the
Ethernet subnet.
Adding Static Routes
To add a new route to the static routing list, click the +Add button. The Static routes page appears.
In the Destination network address field, enter the IP address of the destination of the route.
In the Destination subnet mask field, enter the subnet mask of the route.
In the Gateway IP address field, enter the IP address of the gateway that will facilitate the route.
In the Metric field enter the metric for the route. The metric value is used by the router to prioritise routes. The lower the
value, the higher the priority. To give the route the highest priority, set it to 0.
Click the Static Routing toggle key at the top of the page to turn on the Static routing feature globally.
Click the Save button to save your settings.
