Setup Tab / Advanced Routing

This tab is used to set up the Router advanced functions. Operating Mode allows you to select the type(s) of advanced functions you use. Dynamic Routing will automatically adjust how packets travel on your network. Static Routing sets up a fixed route to another network destination.

NAT

This feature enables NAT (Network Address Translation) feature in which this Router will function. If your network using only single set of IP addresses for both internal and external traffic, click Disable. If your network using one set of IP addresses for internal and a second set of IP addresses for external traffic, click Enable. When Enable is chosen, Dynamic NAT will be enabled.

Dynamic Routing (RIP)

This feature enables the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout and exchange routing tables with the other router(s). The Router determines the network packets route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination.

Static Routing

Static Routing Table Entries

This list shows all entries in the Routing Table. Click Delete button to delete the entry you selected.

Destination LAN IP

This is the address of the remote network or host to which you want to assign a static route.

Subnet Mask

The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion.

Default Gateway

This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Router and the remote network or host.

Interface

This interface tells you whether the Destination IP Address is on the LAN & Wireless (Ethernet and wireless networks), the WAN (Internet), or Loopback (a dummy network in which one PC acts like a network ecessary for certain software programs).

Metric

The number of "hops" (routers) to pass through to reach the remote LAN segment. The shortest path will be used. The default value is 2.
