3.7.14 Static Routing
The Static Routing page enables you to define routes for specific subnets on the WAN/LAN
side. The SOHOSpeed allows you to manually program the SOHOSpeed's routing table. Up
to 16 static routes can be added.
Field Description
Field
Definition/Description
Select a
Connection
Select the LAN group or WAN connection to which a static routing subnet is
to be applied.
New
Destination IP
The network IP address of the subnet. (You can also enter the IP address of
each individual station in the subnet).
Mask
The network mask of the destination subnet.
Gateway
The IP address of the next hop through which traffic will flow towards the
destination subnet.
Metric
Defines the number of hops the between network nodes that data packets
travel. The default value is 0, which means that the subnet is directly one hop
away on the local LAN network.
Suppose you have a network like the one shown in figure below. In your LAN, you have an
Gateway (192.168.1.1) and three stations connected to it (192.168.1.x). A subnet is added to
your LAN group by adding a second router (192.168.1.5/ 10.0.0.1) with four stations (10.0.0.x)
connected to it. The four stations in the subnet cannot receive packets unless they are added
to the routing table of your SOHOSpeed. You can add each individual station to the routing
table using the Static Routing page, or more easily, you can add the whole subnet in one
entry.
The procedure below explains how to add the subnet to the SOHOSpeed routing table.
