Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use VRT-401’s
Local Router
as the
Default Route
.
The entries will be the same as VRT-401’s local router, with the exception of the
Gateway IP Address
.
•
For a router with a direct connection to VRT-401’s local Router, the
Gateway IP
Address
is the address of VRT-401’s local router.
•
For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching VRT-
401’s local router, the
Gateway IP Address
is the address of the intermediate
router.
