Modifying a static route

To modify a static route, select Display/Change Static Route in the
Static Routes screen to display a table of static routes.

Select a static route from the table and go to the Change Static
Route screen. The parameters in this screen are the same as the
ones in the Add Static Route screen (see

“Adding a static route” on

page 4-13

).

Deleting a static route

To delete a static route, select Delete Static Route in the Static
Routes screen to display a table of static routes. Select a static
route from the table and press Return to delete it. To exit the table
without deleting the selected static route, press the Escape key.

Rules of static route installation

The Netopia Router applies certain rules before installing enabled
static routes in the IP routing table. An enabled static route will not
be installed in the IP routing table if any of the following conditions
are true:

The static route’s Next Gateway IP Address matches the IP
address used by a connection profile or the Netopia Router’s
Ethernet port.

The static route’s Next Gateway IP Address matches an IP
address in the range of IP addresses being distributed by
MacIP or DHCP.

The static route’s Next Gateway IP Address is determined to
be unreachable by the Netopia Router.

The static route’s route information conflicts with a connection
profile’s route information.

The connection profile associated with the static route is set for
dial-in connections only, and there is no incoming call
connected to that connection profile.
