Chapter 5: Setting Up and Configuring the Router
Setup Tab - Advanced Routing
4-Port SSL/IPSec VPN Router
If you want to use static routing, the Router's DHCP settings must be disabled. Then add routing entries to the
Static Routing table. These entries tell the Router where to send all incoming packets. All of your network routers
should direct the default route entry to the 4-Port SSL/IPSec VPN Router.
To create a static route entry, enter the following information:
1. In the
Destination IP
field, enter the network address of the remote LAN segment. For a standard Class C IP
domain, the network address is the first three fields of the Destination LAN IP, while the last field should be
zero.
2. In the
Subnet Mask
field, enter the Subnet Mask used on the destination LAN IP domain. For Class C IP
domains, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
3. In the
Default Gateway
field, enter the IP address of your network’s gateway. If this Router is used to connect
your network to the Internet, then the gateway IP is the Router's Internet IP address. If you have another
router handling your network's Internet connection, enter the IP address of that router instead.
4. In the
Hop Count
field, enter the appropriate value (maximum is 15). This indicates the number of nodes that
a data packet passes through before reaching its destination. A node is any device on the network, such as a
switch, PC, or router.
5. From the
Interface
drop-down menu, select the appropriate interface. The Interface tells you whether your
network is on the LAN or the WAN (the Internet). If you’re connecting to a sub-network, select
LAN
. If you’re
connecting to another network through the Internet, select the appropriate WAN port option.
6. Click the
Add to list
button, and configure as many static routing entries as you would like, up to a maximum
of 30. To delete an entry, select it and click the
Delete selected IP
button.
Click the
Show Routing Table
button to view the current routes and their settings. Click the
Save Settings
button to save your changes or click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo your changes.
NOTE:
Static Routing is an advanced feature. Create these routes with care.
