Changing How Data Packets are Routed

These rules tell the device which gateways on a given interface's subnet may be used to route packets to hosts on other
subnets.

The Route screen opens to the Input screen. Route is organized into three screens: Input, Output, and About. Enter and
execute a command on the Input screen and review the results on the Output screen.
