Routing
Overview ❑ If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can
ignore the “Routing” page completely.
❑ If the Wireless Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN
segment, ignore the “Routing” page even if your LAN has other
Routers.
❑ If your LAN has a standard Router on your LAN, and the Wireless
Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP
(Routing Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing
table.
❑ If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to
control which LAN segments use each Gateway, do NOT enable
RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure the Static Routing
table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)
❑ If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router,
enable RIP on the Wireless Router, and ensure the following
Windows 2000 settings are correct:
— Open Routing and Remote Access.
— In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access, [server
name], IP Routing, RIP.
— In the “Details” pane, right-click the interface you want to
configure for RIP version 2, and then click “Properties”.
— On the “General” tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to “RIP
version 2 broadcast,” and Incoming packet protocol to “RIP
version 1 and 2.”
Routing Screen The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Administration
menu.
Using this Screen
Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the
Static Routing Table, as explained above, although is it possible to use
both methods simultaneously.
