Static Route Definition
Such a static route is a possible path from a device to its destination or to another host. This way the
Bytton router will be able to know where it may deliver the data packets coming from the Internet with
different destination IP addresses.
For each route you may perform these settings:
Route
: Enable or Disable. By default, all ten are disabled.
Now the button of each route allows you to select who will perform the routing, either the
Kernel or the Quagga routing program:
IP
: Address of the remote network or host to which you want to assign a static route.
Netmask
: the subnet mask determines which portion of the destination IP address is the network part
and which is the host part
Router
: the gateway to be used, enter here the IP address of the router which allows for contact
between Bytton and the remote host or network.
Interface
: the interface to be used for the respective route. You may select one of the following available
options: local network (WIFI and LAN Ethernet ports), WAN Ethernet port, PPP interface (HSDPA
modem), PPPoE (PPP link over the Ethernet), GRE Tunnel0 or GRE Tunnel1.
Metric:
Routing now features also the
metric
parameter: in case of multiple paths to the destination,
you may specify the metric for each route (0, 1, and 2 etc).
The routing program will check the metric to select the shortest route for the data packets.
