device. Your LAN hosts know their default gateway either because you assigned it to them
when you modified your TCP/IP properties, or because you configured them to receive the
information dynamically from a server whenever they access the Internet.
−
On the DSL device itself, a default gateway is defined to direct all outbound Internet traffic to
a route at your ISP. The default gateway is assigned either automatically by your ISP
whenever the device negotiates an Internet access, or manually by user to setup through the
configuration.
You may need to define routes if your home setup includes two or more networks or
subnets, if you connect to two or more ISP services, or if you connect to a remote
corporate LAN.
