Chapter 9 Routing Settings

9.1 Routing Table

This page shows the router's core routing table.

The main duty of a router is to look for the best path for every data packet and transfer that

data packet to its destination station. 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, which is usually 255.255.255.0
