Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Appendix G Appendix G: Routing Quick Start Guide What do you mean by a routable subnet? To many people, routing can be a black art. So many explanations of routing explain the binary logic behind it, but not how to actually use it. This document is designed to offer some practical advise on routing based on some of the common questions our customers ask us.
Page 53
Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Appendix G So what is a Router? Note: The following is a super simple explanation of a router. Routers are like a bad boss, they either shout out information to anyone within earshot or they if don’t know what to do with the information, they pass the information on to someone else to deal with.
