The main duty for a router is to look for the best path for every data packet, and transfer
this data packet to a destination. In order to fulfill this function, many transferring paths,
(i.e. routing table) are saved in the router, for use when needed.
9.2 Static Routing
This screen is used to set the router’s static routing.
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach
a specific host or network.
Destination Network IP Address: The destination host or IP segment you visit.
Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask, generally it is 255.255.255.0
Gateway: The entry IP address of the next router.
NOTE:
1. The gateway must be at the same network segment as
the router’s LAN IP Address.
2. If
the destination IP address is one host’s address, then the subnet mask must be
255.255.255.255.
3. If the destination IP address is an IP segment, then it must match with the subnet
mask. For example, if the destination IP is 10.0.0.0 then the subnet mask must be
255.0.0.0
