9.2 ROUTING
The Routing page enables you to define specific route for your Internet and network data.
Most users do not need to define routes. On a typical home or small office LAN, the
existing routes that set up the default gateways for your LAN hosts and for the
modem/router, provide the most appropriate path for all your Internet traffic.
− On your LAN hosts, a default gateway directs all Internet traffic to the LAN port(s)
on the modem/router. Your LAN hosts know their default gateway either because
you assigned it to them when you modified your TCP/IP properties, or because you
configured them to receive the information dynamically from a server whenever
they access the Internet.
−
On the modem/router itself, a default gateway is defined to direct all outbound
Internet traffic to a route at your ISP. The default gateway is assigned either
automatically by your ISP whenever the modem negotiates an Internet access, or
manually by user to setup through configuration.
You may need to define routes if your home setup includes two or more networks or
subnets, if you connect to two or more ISP services, or if you connect to a remote
corporate LAN.
