Static Routing - Acer WLAN 11g Broadband Router User Manual

5.11 Static Routing

The Static Routing is used to configure static routes to remote networks
manually, where the route is predefined and is not supervised by the
Routing Information Protocol (RIP). It can explicitly reduce the network
traffic and speed the Internet connects for a small network.
However, it may fall into a certain disadvantage. When a static router
involves more than one Hop, if the connection to the next hop goes down, the
router cannot be aware of the invalid path and continues to route traffic on
this hop.
On the Static Routing page, you can add up to 20 static routes by indicating:
Destination LAN IP address and Subnet Mask
▪
Remote gateway
▪
Hop
▪
Note :
If the network topology changes, you may have to make changes to the static
routing tables for relevant static routes.
Router interface through which to forward the packets to the destination.
