RIPv2-Broadcast, RIPv2-Multicast)
Static Routing
You will need to configure Static Routing if there are multiple routers installed on your network. The static routing
function determines the path that data follows over your network before and after it passes through the Router.
You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through this device. This is an
advanced feature. Please proceed with caution.
This Router is also capable of dynamic routing (see the Dynamic Routing tab). In many cases, it is better to use
dynamic routing because the function will allow the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the
network's layout. In order to use static routing, the Router's DHCP settings must be disabled.
To set up static routing, you should add routing entries in the Router's table that tell the device where to send all
incoming packets. All of your network routers should direct the default route entry to the Linksys Router.
Enter the following data to create a static route entry:
1. Destination IP: Enter the network address of the remote LAN segment. For a standard Class C IP domain, the
network address is the first three fields of the Destination LAN IP, while the last field should be zero.
2. Subnet Mask: Enter the Subnet Mask used on the destination LAN IP domain. For Class C IP domains, the
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
3. Default Gateway: If this Router is used to connect your network to the Internet, then your gateway IP is the
Router's IP Address. If you have another router handling your network's Internet connection, enter the IP
Address of that router instead.
4. Hop Count (max. 15): This value gives the number of nodes that a data packet passes through before reaching
its destination. A node is any device on the network, such as switches, PCs, etc.
5. Interface: (LAN, WAN1, WAN2/DMZ) Interface tells you whether your network is on the LAN or the WAN, or the
Internet. If you’re connecting to a sub-network, select LAN. If you’re connecting to another network through
the Internet, select WAN.
Click Add to list to add a route entry or click Delete Selected IP to delete the static route entry.
