7.7 Routing
Overview
You can ignore the “Routing” page if your network topology is constructed as following:
 If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN.
 If the WN-300ARM-VPN is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the "Routing"
page even if your LAN has other Routers.
You can ignore the RIP Routing page if your network topology is constructed as following:
 If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN segments use each
Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure the Static Routing table
instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)
You can ignore the Static Routing page if your network topology is constructed as following:
 If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the WN-300ARM-VPN is to act as a
Gateway for all LAN segments, you can enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol).
 If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the WN-300ARM-VPN,
and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:
 Open Routing and Remote Access
 In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access, [server name], IP Routing, RIP
 In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 2, and then click
"Properties".
 On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and Incoming
packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2".
Routing Screen
The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Administration menu.
-1- Using this Screen
Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routing Table, as explained
above, although is it possible to use both methods simultaneously.
Static Routing Table
 If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your Network,
other than the segment to which this device is attached.
 The other Routers must also be configured. See Configuring Other Routers on your LAN later in
this chapter for further details and an example.
