Advanced Routing
NAT
Enabled/Disabled If the Valet is hosting your network’s
connection to the Internet, keep the default, Enabled. If
another router exists on your network, select Disabled.
When the NAT setting is disabled, dynamic routing will be
enabled.
Dynamic Routing (RIP)
Enabled/Disabled This feature enables the Valet to
automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s
layout and exchange routing tables with the other
router(s). The Valet determines the network packets’ route
based on the fewest number of hops between the source
and the destination. When the NAT setting is enabled, the
Dynamic Routing feature is automatically disabled. When
the NAT setting is disabled, this feature is available. Select
Enabled to use the Dynamic Routing feature.
Static Routing
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network
information must travel to reach a specific host or
network. Enter the information described below to set up
a new static route.
Route Entries To set up a static route between the Valet
and another network, select a number from the drop-
down list. Click Delete This Entry to delete a static route.
Enter Route Name Enter a name for the Route here,
using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters.
Destination LAN IP The Destination LAN IP is the address
of the remote network or host to which you want to assign
a static route.
Subnet Mask The Subnet Mask determines which
portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network
portion, and which portion is the host portion.
Gateway This is the IP address of the gateway device
that allows for contact between the Valet and the remote
network or host.
Interface This interface tells you whether the Destination
IP Address is on the LAN & Wireless (Ethernet and wireless
networks) or the Internet (WAN).
