6.6 Routing (Advanced Mode only)

Add a new static route to the IP routing table or

edit/remove an existing route.
Static routes are unnecessary for most users.

They are typically only used in networks with

more than one layer, such as when there is a

network within a network so that packet

destinations are hidden behind an additional

router. Adding a static route is a way of telling the router about an additional step that packets will need to take to reach

their destination.

Click

Add to create a new static route.

IP/Network Address: The IP address of the target

network or host.
Type: Select from a dropdown list to specify the type of the

target:

Network

Host

Netmask: Used to specify which portion of the IP/Network

Address

signifies the network trying to be accessed and

which part signifies the host that the packets will be routed

to.

NOTE: 255.255.255.255 is used to signify only the host that was entered in the IP/Network Address field.

Gateway: Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies there is no next hop, and

the IP address matched is directly connected to the router on the interface specified:

LAN or WAN.
