Routing
This table lists IP address of Internet destinations commonly accessed by your network. When
a computer requests to send data to a listed destination, the device uses the Gateway IP to
identify the first Internet router it should contact to route the data most efficiently. Select this
option will list the routing table information. You can press ADD ROUTE to edit the static route.
(As below screen)
ADD ROUTE – click this button to set Static Routing information.
Destination IP Address – This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final
destination of packets routed by this rule.
IP Subnet Mask – Enter the subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP Address – Enter the IP address of the gateway. A gateway does the actual
forwarding of the packets. Enter the gateway’s IP address in the field or select which PVC you
wish to act as a gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your ADSL Router that will
forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same
segment as your Router; over Internet (WAN), the gateway must be the IP address of one of
the remote nodes.
Metric – Metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP Routing uses
hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks.
Enter a number that approximates the cost for this link. The number need not to be precise,
but it must between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Announced in RIP – This parameter determines if the ADSL router includes the router to this
remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If you choose Yes, the router in this remote node will be
