4.4 Setup – Advanced Routing
The Advanced Routing is used to set up the Routers advanced functions. Operating Mode allows you to select the type
of routing functions. Dynamic Routing will automatically adjust how packets travel on your network. Static Routing sets up
a fixed route to another network destination.
Operating mode:
If this Router is hosting your networks connection to the Internet, select Gateway. If another Router exists on your
network, select Router. When Router is chosen, Dynamic Routing will be enabled.
Dynamic Routing
This feature enables the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the networks layout and exchange
routing tables with the other router(s). The Router determines the network packets route based on the fewest number
of hops between the source and the destination. This feature is Disabled by default.
Static Routing
To set up a static route between the Router and another network, select a number from the Static Routing drop-down
list. (A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network.)
Enter the information described below to set up a new static route. (Click the Delete This Entry button to delete a static
route.)
♦
Destination LAN IP: The Destination LAN IP is the address of the remote network or host to which you want to
assign a static route.
♦
Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network portion,
and which portion is the host portion.
♦
Default Gateway: This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Router and
the remote network or host.
♦
Interface - This interface tells you whether the Destination IP Address is on the LAN & Wireless (internal wired
and wireless networks) , WAN (Internet) or Loopback (a dummy network in which one PC acts like a network—
necessary for certain software programs)..
