ROUTER > CONFIG > ROUTES
Configures the default gateway and static routes from this menu.
ROUTER > CONFIG > ROUTES > DEFAULT GATEWAY
The default gateway is used by the unit to send IP packets whose destination addresses are not found in the
route table (otherwise known as the gateway of last resort). Default is
0.0.0.0. This is a default gateway for
the entire unit, not just for the Ethernet port.
ROUTER > CONFIG > ROUTES > STATIC ROUTES
Use this menu to enter static routes to other networks.
METHOD
Specifies the way the RIP protocol sends out its advertisements. The following options are
available:
SPLIT HORIZON
(Default) Only routes not learned from this circuit are advertised.
POISON REVERSE
All routes are advertised, but the routes learned from this point are “poisoned” with an
infinite metric.
DIRECTION
Allows the direction at which RIP advertisements are sent and received to be specified.
NUM
Displays the index number in the static route table.
ACTIVE
Adds this static route entry to the IP routing table when set to YES and removes it (if it was previously
added) if set to
NO. Default is NO.
IP ADDRESS
The IP address of the host or network address of the device being routed to. Default is 0.0.0.0.
SUBNET MASK
Determines the bits in the previous IP address that are used. If this is to be a host route, it must be set
to all ones (255.255.255.255). Default is
0.0.0.0.
