6.3.1.5 Routes
The Network > Routes screen allows you to configure the routing tables on the GridRouter. IP Routing is
an umbrella term for the set of protocols that determine the path that data follows to travel across multiple
networks from its source to its destination. These protocols enable the GridRouter to build up a
forwarding table that correlates the final destinations with the next hop addresses.
