6.1 Route Setup
6.1.1 Static Route Setup
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.

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.

6.1.2 IPv6 Routing Configuration
IPv6 configuration is mostly the same as IPv4 configuration (please refer to 6.1 Static Route
Setup). IPv4 uses only 32 bits for IP address space, IPv6 allows 128 bits for IP address space.

6.1.3 RIP Configuration
RIP is an dynamic routing Internet protocol. Here you can set up to share routing table
information with other routing devices on your LAN, at your ISP’s location, or on remote
networks connected to your network via the ADSL line.
Most small home or office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one router, such as
the ADSL Router, and one path to an ISP. In these cases, there is no need to share routes,
because all Internet data from the network is sent to the same ISP gateway.
You may want to configure RIP if any of the following circumstances apply to your network:
o
Your home network setup includes an additional router or RIP-enabled router (other than
the ADSL Router). The ADSL Router and the router will need to communicate via RIP to
share their routing tables.
o
Your network connects via the ADSL line to a remote network, such as a corporate
network. In order for your LAN to learn the routes used within your corporate network,
they should both be configured with RIP.
o
Your ISP requests that you run RIP for communication with devices on their network.

6.2 NAT Configuration
In computer networking, network address translation (NAT) is the process of modifying IP
address information in IP packet headers while in transit across a traffic routing device.
6.2.1 DMZ Setup
A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) allows a single computer on your LAN to expose ALL of its
ports to the Internet. Enter the IP address of computer as a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
host with unrestricted Internet access. When doing this, the DMZ host is no longer
behind the firewall.

DMZ Host IP Address
IP address of the local host. This feature sets a local host to be exposed
to the Internet.
6.2.2 Virtual Server
Firewall keeps unwanted traffic from the Internet away from your LAN computers.
Add a Virtual Server entry will create a tunnel through your firewall so that the
computers on the Internet can communicate to one of the computers on your
LAN on a single port.
