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 home or small office LAN, the

existing routes that set up the default gateways for your LAN hosts and for the

modem/router, 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 modem/router. 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 modem/router 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 modem negotiates an Internet access, or

manually by user to setup through 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.

Fields in this page:

Field

Description

Enable

Check to enable the selected route or route to be added.

Destination

The network IP address of the subnet. The destination can be specified as the

IP address of a subnet or a specific host in the subnet. It can also be specified

as all zeros to indicate that this route should be used for all destinations for

which no other route is defined

(this is the route that creates the default

gateway)

.

Subnet Mask

The network mask of the destination subnet. The default gateway uses a

mask of 0.0.0.0.

Next Hop

The IP address of the next hop through which traffic will flow towards the

destination subnet.

Metric

Defines the number of hops between network nodes that data packets travel.

The default value is 0, which means that the subnet is directly one hop away

on the local LAN network.

Interface

The WAN interface to which a static routing subnet is to be applied.
