Gateway The IP Address of the Gateway or Router that The Load Balancer must use to
communicate with the destination above. (NOT the router attached to the remote
segment.)
Interface Select the correct interface, usually "LAN". The "WAN" interface is only available
if NAT (Network Address Translation) is disabled.
Metric The number of "hops" (routers) to pass through to reach the remote LAN
segment. The shortest path will be used.
Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
All traffic for devices not on the local LAN must be forwarded to The Load Balancer, so that they can
be forwarded to the Internet. This is done by configuring other Routers to use The Load Balancer as
the Default Route or Default Gateway, as illustrated by the example below.
Static Routing - Example
Router B
(192.168.2.90) (192.168.3.70)
Router A
Segment 0
Segment 2
Segment 1
(192.168.1.xx)
(192.168.2.xx)
(192.168.1.100)
(192.168.1.1)
(192.168.3.xx)
(192.168.2.80)
