6.5 Static Routing
When there are several routers in the network, you may want to set
up static routing. Static routing determines the path of the data in
your network. You can use this feature to allow users on different IP
domains to access the Internet via this device. It is not
recommended to use this setting unless you are familiar with static
routing. In most cases, dynamic routing is recommended, because
this feature allows the router to detect the physical changes of the
network layout automatically. If you want to use static routing, make
sure the routers DHCP function is disabled.
1. Destination Network IP Address: Specify a single IP address,
say, 172.17.0.100, or an IP net segment, .say, 192.168.88.0.
2. Subnet Mask: Specify a Subnet Mask that corresponds to the
specified destination IP.
3. Gateway: Specif the IP address for next hop.
4. OK: Click to activate your settings.
