Configuring Static Routes Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under usual circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network. As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case: · · · Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP. You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. 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 request is likely to be denied by the company's firewall. 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. 4-10 v1. 0, January 2010 Customizing Your Network Settings NETGEAR Wireless-N 300 Router WNR2000v2 User Manual · · · The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192. 168. 1. 100. Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated. To add or edit a static route: 1. Select the Private check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only. Select the Active check box to make this route effective. Customizing Your Network Settings v1. 0, January 2010 4-11 NETGEAR Wireless-N 300 Router WNR2000v2 User Manual 6. In the Destination IP Address field, enter the IP address of the final destination. In the IP Subnet Mask field, enter the IP subnet mask for this destination. In the Gateway IP Address field, enter the gateway IP address, which must be a router on the same LAN segment as the WNR2000v2 router. In the Metric field, enter a number between 1 and 15 as the metric value. This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1. Click Apply to have the static route entered into the table.
