If you have configured multiple Ethernet IP subnets, the IP Setup screen changes slightly:
The IP address and Subnet mask items are hidden, and the “Define Additional Subnets...” item becomes
“Subnet Configuration...”. If you select Subnet Configuration, you will return to the IP Subnets screen that
allows you to define IP addresses and masks for additional Ethernet IP subnets.

Select Static Routes to manually configure IP routes. See the following section.
Static routes
Static routes are IP routes that are maintained manually. Each static route acts as a pointer that tells the
Netopia R2121 how to reach a par ticular network. However, static routes are used only if they appear in the IP
routing table, which contains all of the routes used by the Netopia R2121 (see
“IP routing table” on page 13-9
).
Static routes are helpful in situations where a route to a network must be used and other means of finding the
route are unavailable. For example, static routes are useful when you cannot rely on RIP.
To go to the Static Routes screen, select the Static Routes item in the IP Setup screen.
