8.2 Routing

The Routing page enables you to define specific route for your Internet and network data.
Most users do not need to define routes. On a typical small home or office LAN, the existing
routes that set up the default gateways for your LAN hosts and for the DSL device provide the
most appropriate path for all your Internet traffic.
On your LAN hosts, a default gateway directs all Internet traffic to the LAN
−
port(s) on the DSL device. Your LAN hosts know their default gateway either
because you assigned it to them when you modified your TCP/IP properties, or
because you configured them to receive the information dynamically from a
server whenever they access the Internet.
On the DSL device itself, a default gateway is defined to direct all outbound
−
Internet traffic to a route at your ISP. The default gateway is assigned either
automatically by your ISP whenever the device negotiates an Internet access,
or manually by user to setup through the configuration.
You may need to define routes if your home setup includes two or more networks or subnets,
if you connect to two or more ISP services, or if you connect to a remote corporate LAN.
