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.

If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the
"Routing" page completely.
If the Wireless Router 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 Wireless
Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing In-
formation 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 confi-
gure the other Routers.)
If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on
the Wireless Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are cor-
rect:

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".
If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN seg-
ment 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 example.
