Routing

Overview

• If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can
ignore the "Routing" page completely.
• If the DC-202 is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment,
ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers.
• If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the
DC-202 is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Rout-
ing Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.
• If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control
which LAN segments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing
Information Protocol). Configure the Static Routing table instead. (You
also need to configure the other Routers.)
• If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable
RIP on the DC-202, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings
are correct:
• Open Routing and Remote Access
• In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access , [server name],
IP Routing, RIP
• In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for
RIP version 2, and then click "Properties".
• On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2
broadcast", and Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2".

Routing Screen

The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Administration
menu.
Using this Screen
Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the
Static Routing Table, as explained above, although is it possible to use
both methods simultaneously.
Static Routing Table
• If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN
segment on your Network, other than the segment to which this device
is attached.
• The other Routers must also be configured. See Configuring Other
Routers on your LAN later in this chapter for further details and an ex-
ample.
If the MAC address is changed, the DC-
202 must restart.
