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, 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.
• The Gateway IP
Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
• A metric value of 1 works since the ISDN router is on the LAN.
• Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
To set up a static route:
1. Select Advanced >
Advanced Setup > Static Routes, and click Add to display the
following screen:
2. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only.)
3. Select the Private check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only
. If Private is
selected, the static route is not reported in RIP.
4. Select the Active check box to make this route ef
fective.
5. T
ype the IP address of the final destination.
6. T
ype the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type
255.255.255.255.
7. T
ype the gateway IP address, which has to be a router on the same LAN segment as the
router.
8. T
ype a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value.
This value 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.
9. Click Apply to add the static route.
