Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the DSL/Cable
Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this,
the local LAN must be configured to use the DSL/Cable Router as the
Default Route
or
Default
Gateway
.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the DSL/Cable Router.
This router requires that the
Default Route
is the DSL/Cable Router itself. Typically, routers
have a special entry for the
Default Route
. It should be configured as follows.
Destination IP Address
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Network Mask
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Gateway IP Address
The IP Address of the DSL/Cable Router.
Metric

Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use the DSL/Cable Router's
Local Router
as the
Default
Route
. The entries will be the same as the DSL/Cable Router's local router, with the exception
of the
Gateway IP Address
.
•
For a router with a direct connection to the DSL/Cable Router's local Router, the
Gateway
IP Address
is the address of the DSL/Cable Router's local router.
•
For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the DSL/Cable
Router's local router, the
Gateway IP Address
is the address of the intermediate router.
