Static Routing
If the Router is required to serve more than one network, you will need to set up a Static Route
between the networks. Static routing can be used to allow users from one IP domain to access the
Internet through the Router in another domain. A Static Route provides the defined pathway that
network information must travel to reach the specific host or network which is providing Internet
access .
To access the Static Routing controls, click on Advanced>Advanced Features> Static Routing.
Configuring Static Routing:
Choose a Connection: presents list of Saved Connections. Select appropriate connection from list.
The New Destination IP is the address of the remote LAN network or host to which you want to
assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to create a static route here.
For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first three fields of the New Destination
IP, while the last field should be 0. The Subnet Mask identifies which portion of an IP address is the
network portion, and which portion is the host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask
is 255.255.255.0. The Gateway IP address should be the IP address of the gateway device that allows
for contact between the Gateway and the remote network or host.
Gateway: IP address refers to the IP address of the near device that is to connect with the remote
network or host. If the NB5 is fulfilling this function then its IP address will be entered in this field.
