ROUTING
STATIC ROUTES
Add a new static route to the IP routing table or edit/remove an existing
route.
Static routes are used in networks with more than one layer, such as
when there is a network within a network so that packet destinations
are hidden behind an additional router. Adding a static route is a way
of telling the router about an additional step that packets will need to
take to reach their destination.
Click
Add
to create a new static route.
IP Version
: Select IPv4 or IPv6. Depending on your selection, you have
different options for defining the address range.
IP/Network Address
or
IPv6 Address
: The IP address of the target
network or host. The IPv6 address field includes
CIDR notation
to declare a range of addresses.
Netmask/Prefix
: The Netmask, along with the IPv4 address, defines the network the computer belongs to
and which other IP addresses the computer can see in the same LAN. An IP address of 192.168.0.1 along
with a Netmask of 255.255.255.0 defines a network with 256 available IP addresses from 192.168.0.0 to
192.168.0.255.
Gateway
or
IPv6 Gateway
: Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies
there is no next hop, and the IP address matched is directly connected to the router on the interface specified:
LAN
or
WAN
.
Device
: Select the network interface from the dropdown menu (e.g. ethernet-wan). You can use this instead of
defining the IP address, especially in cases when the IP address is changing.
Metric
: Set the numerical priority of the route. Lower numbers have higher priority.
Allow Network Access
: (Default: Deselected.) Some static routes will need an IP Filter Rule via the Firewall
to allow packets through the route without being blocked. Selecting this option automatically creates this IP
Overrides
Override Authentication methods/parameters. With methods set to Allow the two ends of the tunnel
can negotiate a common scheme. Sometimes this negotiation fails, or the implementation on one end is
incompatible with the other. To solve those authentication issues, enable the overrides as needed.
•
Authentication
– Username for user-specific authorization. Leave blank to disable.
•
CHAP
– Choose from Allowed, Refused, or Required.
•
PAP
– Choose from Allowed, Refused, or Required.
•
Name
– Override names used to authenticate the router. Leave empty to use the default.
Add/Edit Tunnel – Routes
Typically specific routes are unnecessary, but they can be added in this section if needed. You can add or
remove routes to be used to funnel packets through the tunnel.
•
Network Address
– This is the network address that is the destination of the route. This should be set to
the network address at the remote side of the tunnel.
•
Netmask
– This is the corresponding subnet mask of the network being defined.
