for the internet. All traffic will be balanced
between the two WAN ports offering the
highest possible bandwidth and the fastest
internet access to all users.
Routing Table
The static routing table allows the internet server to
coexist on the same network with a router. This imple-
mentation depends on whether the router has its own
WAN access to the internet.
If the router does not have a connection to the inter-
net, then you do not need to create a new IP network or
IP subnet. You simply need to add the internet server to
the existing LAN and configure the router to use the Lo-
cal LAN IP address of the internet server as its default
gateway. In the internet server, you must add static
routes into the routing table to the other IP networks or
IP subnets that the router is routing between. Use the
router’s LAN IP address as the gateway for the static
routes to the other IP networks or IP subnets that the
internet server does not belong to. Doing this enables
computers on the same IP network as the internet server
to communicate with the computers on the other local IP
networks or IP subnets.
If your router has its own connection to the internet
then you must create a new IP network or IP subnet. All
computers on the new IP network will use the internet
server to access the internet. Computers remaining on
the preexisting IP network will continue to use the
router for internet access. In this configuration, the
internet server can ease the burden for internet band-
width on the router. However, for computers on the new
IP network to communicate with computers on the old
one, you must create a static route in the internet
