Routing
Overview
•
If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing"
page completely.
•
If the TW100-BRF114 is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the
"Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers.
•
If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the TW100-BRF114 is
to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and
ignore the Static Routing table.
•
If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN seg-
ments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure
the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)
•
If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the
TW100-BRF114, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:
•
Open
Routing and Remote Access
•
In the console tree, select
Routing and Remote Access, [server name], IP Routing,
RIP
•
In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 2,
and then click "Properties".
•
On the "General" tab, set
Outgoing packet protocol
to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and
Incoming packet protocol
to "RIP version 1 and 2".
Routing Screen
The routing table is accessed by the
Routing
link on the
Other
screen.
Using this Screen
Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routing Table,
as explained above, although is it possible to use both methods simultaneously.
Static Routing Table
•
If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your
Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached.
•
The other Routers must also be configured. See
Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
later in this chapter for further details and an example.

Properties
•
Destination Network
- The network address of the remote LAN
segment. For standard class "C" LANs, the network address is
the first 3 fields of the Destination IP Address. The 4th (last)
field can be left at 0.
•
Network Mask
- The Network Mask for the remote LAN
segment. For class "C" networks, the default mask is
255.255.255.0
•
Gateway IP Address
- The IP Address of the Gateway or
Router which the TW100-BRF114 must use to communicate
with the destination above. (NOT the router attached to the
remote segment.)
•
Metric
- The number of "hops" (routers) to pass through to
reach the remote LAN segment. The shortest path will be used.
The default value is 1.
