2. Enter the following data to create a new static route:
Destination LAN IP: The Destination LAN IP is the address of the remote
network or host to which you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP
address of the host for which you wish to create a static route here. If you
are building a route to an entire network, be sure that the network portion
of the IP address is set to zero. For example, the Cable/DSL Router’s stan-
dard IP address is 192.168.1.1. Based on this address, the address of the
routed network is 192.168.1, with the last digit determining the Cable/DSL
Router’s place on the network. Therefore you would enter the IP address
192.168.1.0 if you wanted to route to the Cable/DSL Router’s entire net-
work, rather than just to the Router.
Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask (also known as the Network Mask) deter-
mines which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which
portion is the host portion. Take, for example, a network in which the
Network Mask is 255.255.255.0. This determines (by using the values 255)
that the first three numbers of an network IP address identify this particu-
lar network, while the last digit (from 1 to 254) would identify the specific
host.
Default Gateway: This IP address should be the IP address of the gateway
device that allows for contact between the Cable/DSL Router and the
remote network or host.
Hop Count: This determines the maximum number of steps between net-
work nodes that data packets would travel. A node is any device on the net-
work, such as PCs, print servers, routers, etc.
interface: Select LAN or WA N , determined by which network static rout-
ing is performed within.

If the Router is connected to more than one network, it may be necessary to set
up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-determined pathway that
network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. From the
Static Routing tab, as shown in Figure 8-20, click the Show Routing Table but-
ton to view the current static routing configuration.
To create a static route entry:
1. Select a Static Route Entry from the drop down list. The Cable/DSL
Firewall Router supports up to 20 static route entries.
To delete a Static Routing entry, select an entry and click the Delete this
entry button.
