N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3700v2
Static Routes
Static routes provide additional routing information to your wireless modem router. Under
usual circumstances, the wireless modem router has adequate routing information after it has
been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static
routes. You have to configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple wireless
modem routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
• Y
our primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
• Y
ou have an ISDN wireless modem router on your home network for connecting to the
company where you are employed. This wireless modem router’s address on your LAN is
192.168.1.100.
• Y
our company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your wir
eless modem 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 wireless modem router
forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you
are employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case you have to define a static route, t
elling your wireless modem router that
134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN wireless modem router at 192.168.1.100.
In this example:
• The Destina
tion IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
• The Gateway IP Address f
ield specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN wireless modem router at 192.168.1.100.
• A met
ric value of 1 will work since the ISDN wireless modem router is on the LAN.
• Private is se
lected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
