Network Mask
The Network Mask used on the remote LAN segment. For
class "C" networks, the standard Network Mask is
255.255.255.0
Gateway
IP Address
The IP Address of the Router on the LAN segment to
which this device is attached. (NOT the router on the
remote LAN segment.)
Metric
The number routers which must be navigated to reach the
remote LAN segment. The default value is 1.
Routing tables normally have an "Interface" field. Here, all
entries are for the LAN Interface, so this field is absent.
Router Configuration
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the
Internet Router, so that they can be forwarded to the Internet. To achieve this, the
Routers must be configured to use the Internet Router as the Default Route.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Internet
Router. This router Default Route is the Internet Router itself. Typically, routers
have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows.
Destination IP Address
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router docu-
mentation.
Network Mask
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router docu-
mentation.
Gateway IP Address
The IP Address of the Internet Router.
