N450 Wireless Router WNR2500
• Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route
was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your
local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a
device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP
. The ISP
forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the company’s firewall
denies the request.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be
accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. In this example:
• The Destination IP
Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
• The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traf
fic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
• A metric value of one works because the ISDN router is on the LAN.
• Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
To set up a static route:
1. Select ADVANCED >
Advanced Setup > Static Routes.
The Static Routes screen displays.
2. Click the Add button.
The screen adjusts:
3. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only.)
