Dynamic
Routing (RIP)
|
Note: This
feature is not available in Gateway mode.
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 WAN side, select WAN. To enable this feature for the LAN and
wireless side, select LAN & Wireless. To enable the feature for both the WAN and
LAN, select Both. To disable the Dynamic Routing feature for
all data transmissions, keep the default setting, Disable. |

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.)
2.
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
WAN from the Interface drop-down
menu.
