Chapter 9 Routing Settings

9.1 Routing Table

This page shows the router's core routing table.
The main duty for a router is to look for a best path for every data packet, and transfer this
data packet to a destination station. In order to fulfill this function, many transferring paths,
i.e. routing table, are saved in the router, for choosing when needed.

9.2 Static Routing

This screen is used to set the router's static routing.
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a
specific host or network.
Destination network IP address: The destination host or IP segment you visit.
Subnet mask: Enter the subnet mask, generally it is 255.255.255.0
Gateway: The entry IP address of the next router.
NOTE:
1. The gateway must be at the same net segment with the router's LAN IP.
2. If the destination IP address is one host' address, then the subnet mask must be
255.255.255.255.
3. If the destination IP address is an IP segment, then it must match with the subnet
mask. For example, if the destination IP is 10.0.0.0 then the subnet mask must be
255.0.0.0
