Configuring router settings
The Mobility 5181 Access Point router uses routing tables and protocols to forward data packets
from one network to another. The Mobility 5181 Access Point router manages traffic within the
network, and directs traffic from the WAN to destinations on the Mobility 5181 Access Point
managed LAN. Use the Router screen to view the router's connected routes. To access the Router
screen.
1. Select Network Configuration -> Router from the Mobility 5181 Access Point menu tree.
2. Refer to the Mobility 5181 Access Point Router Table field to view existing routes.
The Mobility 5181 Access Point Router Table field displays a list of connected routes between
an enabled subnet and the router. These routes can be changed by modifying the IP address
and subnet masks of the enabled subnets.
The information in the Mobility 5181 Access Point Router Table is dynamically generated from
settings applied on the WAN screen. The destination for each subnet is its IP address. The
subnet mask (or network mask) and gateway settings are those belonging to each subnet.
Displayed interfaces are those associated with destination IP addresses. To change any of the
network address information within the WAN screen, see
3. From the Use Default Gateway drop-down menu, select the WAN or either of the two LANs (if
enabled) to server as the default gateway to forward data packets from one network to
another.
4. To set or view the RIP configuration, click the RIP Configuration button.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an interior gateway protocol that specifies how routers
exchange routing-table information. The Router screen also allows the administrator to select
the type of RIP and the type of RIP authentication used by the controller. For more information
on configuring RIP, see
“Setting the RIP Configuration”
5. Use the User Defined Routes field to add or delete static routes.
The User Defined Routes field allows the administrator to view, add or delete internal static
(dedicated) routes.
