without finding out the IP address of the ZyXEL Device first. This comes helpful if
you do not know the IP address of the ZyXEL Device.
Follow the steps below to access the web configurator.

Routing
8.1
Overview
The ZyXEL Device usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from
computers on the LAN to the Internet. To have the ZyXEL Device send data to
devices not reachable through the default gateway, use static routes.
For example, the next figure shows a computer (
A
) connected to the ZyXEL
Device’s LAN interface. The ZyXEL Device routes most traffic from
A
to the
Internet through the ZyXEL Device’s default gateway (
R1
). You create one static
route to connect to services offered by your ISP behind router
R2
. You create
another static route to communicate with a separate network behind a router
R3
connected to the LAN.

DESCRIPTION
Add New
Static Route
Click this to set up a new static route on the ZyXEL Device.
#
This is the number of an individual static route.
Active
This indicates whether the rule is active or not.
A yellow bulb signifies that this static route is active. A gray bulb signifies
that this static route is not active.
Status
This shows whether the static route is currently in use or not. A yellow
bulb signifies that this static route is in use. A gray bulb signifies that this
static route is not in use.
Name
This is the name that describes or identifies this route.
Destination IP
This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
Routing is always based on network number.
Gateway
This is the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch
on the same network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The
gateway helps forward packets to their destinations.
Subnet Mask
This parameter specifies the IP network subnet mask of the final
destination.
Interface
This is the WAN interface through which the traffic is routed.
