8.5 Routing:
Add/Edit Route:
The Routing option allows you to define fixed routes to defined destinations:
? Destination IP: Enter the Destination IP Address that the packets will be
attempting to access.
? Netmask: Specify which portion of the Destination IP signifies the
network trying to be accessed, and which part signifies the packets to
which the host will be routed.
Note: 255.255.255.255 is used to signify only the host that was entered in the
Destination IP field.
? A Gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies there is no next hop, and the IP address
matched is directly connected to the router on the interface specified:
LAN or WAN. Enter Gateway Specifies the next hop to be taken if this
route is used.
? Select the Interface LAN or WAN, that the IP packet must use to
transit out of the router when this route is used.
? Metric: If there is only one router between your network and the
Destination network, then the Metric value will be 1. This represents the
amount of hops it will take to reach the Destination IP or network. A hop is considered to be traffic passing through a router from one
network to another.
? Save Settings: click to save this information and continue.
