Destination IP Address:
This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
IP Subnet Mask:
Enter the subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP Address:
Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
ADSL Router that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the
same segment as your Router; over Internet (WAN), the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote
nodes.
Metric:
Metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP Routing uses hop count as the
measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates
the cost for this link. The number need not to be precise, but it must between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is
usually a good number.
Announced in RIP:
This parameter determines if the ADSL router includes the router to this remote node in
its RIP broadcasts. If you choose
Yes
, the router in this remote node will be propagated to other hosts through
RIP broadcasts. If No, this route is kept private and is not included in RIP broadcasts.
4.4.3 NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT)
is a method for disguising the private IP addresses you use on your
LAN as the public IP address you use on the Internet. You define NAT rules that specify exactly how and when
to translate between public and private IP addresses. Simply select this option to setup the NAT function for
your ADSL router.
