Dynamic Routing
(RIP)
|
Note: This feature is
not available with NAT enabled.
Dynamic Routing enables
the Router to automatically adjust to physical
changes in the network’s layout and exchange
routing tables with other routers. The Router
determines the network packets’ route based on the
fewest number of hops between the source and
destination.
To enable the Dynamic
Routing feature for the Internet side, select
Enabled. To disable
the Dynamic Routing feature for all data
transmissions, keep the default setting,
Disabled.

Static Routing,
Destination IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and
Interface |
1.
To set up a static route between the Router
and another network, select a number from the
Static Routing drop-down list. (A static
route is a pre-determined pathway that network
information must travel to reach a specific host
or network.)

Enter the following data:
·
Destination IP Address
- The Destination IP
Address is the address of the network or host to
which you want to assign a static
route.
·
Subnet Mask
- The Subnet Mask
determines which portion of an IP address is the
network portion, and which portion is the host
portion.
·
Gateway
- This is the IP
address of the gateway device that allows for
contact between the Router and the network or
host.
3.
Depending on where the Destination IP
Address is located, select LAN &
Wireless or Internet(WAN) from the
Interface drop-down menu.
4.
