Give the router a route to the PC you wish to browse from, using the
command:
ADD IP ROUTE=PC-subnet INTERFACE=vlan1
NEXTHOP=gateway-ipaddress
where:
•
PC-subnet is the IP subnet address of the PC. For example, if the PC has
an IP address of 192.168.6.1 and a mask of 255.255.255.0, its subnet
address is 192.168.6.0.
•
gateway-ipaddress is the IP address of the gateway device that connects
the PC’s subnet with the router’s subnet (Figure 4 on page 28).
