routing settings. The eight sub-menu’s are: IP route, IP address, LAN
Config, DSL, ATM VC, PPP, EoA, and IPoA. The IP route

Each of the other sub-menus is
described in the earlier sections.)
8.1 IP
Route
Click on the
IP Route
link to view the IP route table. This table
displays IP route information such as: destination, net mask,
next hop, interface name, route type and route origin. This table
lists IP addresses of Internet destinations commonly accessed
by your network. When a computer requests to send data to a
listed destination, the device uses the Next Hop to identify the
first Internet router it should contact to route the data most
efficiently.
Click on the
trash can
icon to delete the current destination or
click on the
Add
button to add another destination.

Destination
: Specifies the IP address of the destination
computer. The destination can specified as the IP address
of a specific computer or an entire network. It can also be
specified as all zeros to indicate that this route should be
used for all destinations for which no other route is defined
(this is the route that creates the default gateway).
Netmask
: Indicates which parts of the destination address
refer to the network and which parts refer to a computer on
the network. The default gateway uses a netmask of
0.0.0.0.
NextHop
: Specifies the next IP address to send data to
when its final destination is that shown in the destination
column.
