Table 12-3: Routing Parameters

Select one of the following Routing modes:
Route
Use route mode if you want your device to function as a router
between two networks.
NAPT
Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) refers to network
address translation involving the mapping of port numbers, allowing
multiple machines to share a single IP address. Use NAPT if your
LAN encompasses multiple devices, a topology that necessitates
port translation in addition to address translation.
The device metric is a value used by the device to determine whether one
route is superior to another, considering parameters such as bandwidth, delay,
and more.
Select this check box to define this device as a the default route.
IGMP proxy enables the system to issue IGMP host messages on behalf of
hosts that the system discovered through standard IGMP interfaces. IGMP
proxy enables the routing of multicast packets according to the IGMP requests
of LAN devices asking to join multicast groups.
