Static Routing
The
Static Routing
page enables you to define routes for specific subnets on the WAN/LAN
side. The 6381 RG allows you to manually program the RG's routing table. Up to 16 static routes
can be added.
New Destination IP
The address of the remote LAN network or host to which you want to assign a
static route. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first
three fields of the New Destination IP, while the last field should be 0.
Subnet Mask
Identifies which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion
is the host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
Gateway
Gateway is the IP address of the device that allows contact between the modem
and the remote network or host.
Metric
Metric determines the maximum number of steps (hops) between network nodes
that data packets will travel. A node is any device on the network (such as a
router or switch).
