Routing
The Routing page enables you to dene specic route for your Internet and net-
work data.
Most users do not need to dene routes. On a typical small home or ofce LAN,
the existing routes that set up the default gateways for your LAN hosts and for the
DSL device provide the most appropriate path for all your Internet trafc.
−On your LAN hosts, a default gateway directs all Internet trafc to the LAN port(s)
on the DSL device. Your LAN hosts know their default gateway either because you
assigned it to them when you modied your TCP/IP properties, or because you con-
gured them to receive the information dynamically from a server whenever they
access the Internet.
−On the DSL device itself, a default gateway is dened to direct all outbound Inter-
net trafc to a route at your ISP. The default gateway is assigned either automatically
by your ISP whenever the device negotiates an Internet access, or manually by user
to setup through the conguration.
You may need to dene 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.
