Configuring routing

If there are multiple routers installed on your network, you can configure static routes to determine the path
that data follows over your network before and after it passes through the DFL-500. You can also use static
routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the DFL-500.
Use the DFL-500 Routing function to add, edit, and delete static routes.
•
Go to System > Network > Routing .
•
Click New to add a new route.
•
Define the route by specifying the destination IP address, netmask, interface, and gateway for the route.
•
Click OK to save the new static route.
•
To change a route, choose the route to change and click Edit
•
To delete a route, choose the route to delete and click Delete

Enabling RIP server support

Enable RIP server support to configure the DFL-500 to act like a RIP server. The RIP routing protocol
maintains up-to-date dynamic routing tables between nearby routers. You can configure RIP server support
for the Internal or External interface. When activated, the DFL-500 acts like a RIP server, broadcasting RIP
packets to other nearby routers to:
•
Request network updates from nearby routers
•
Send its own routing tables to other routers
•
Announce that the DFL-500 RIP is coming online (RIP server turned on) and requesting updates
•
Announce that the DFL-500 RIP is shutting down and will stop sharing routing information
To enable RIP server support:
