ROUTER SETUP
3.7.2 Static Routing
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information
must travel in order to reach a specific host or network.
Destination Network IP:
Specify an address you want information
packets forwarded to.
Subnet Mask:
Specify a subnet mask to distinguish the network and
host portions of the IP address.
Gateway IP:
Enter the gateway IP address.
3.7.3 Dynamic Routing
Dynamic routing can be used to cache routes learned by routing
protocols, thus allowing the automation of static routing maintenance.
The router, using RIP (Routing Information Protocol), determines a
network packet’s route based on the fewest number of hops between
the source and the destination.
NOTE:
The RIP function is available
only when the WAN connection mode is designated as either Static IP
or Dynamic IP Address (see Section 3.3: WAN).
Enable Dynamic Routing:
Select to enable/disable the function.
