Configuring IP Routes
92
•
On the ADSL Barricade itself, a default gateway is defined
to direct all outbound Internet traffic to a router at your ISP.
This default gateway is assigned automatically by your ISP
whenever the device negotiates an Internet connection. (The
process for adding a default route is described on page 94.)
You may need to define routes if your home setup includes two
or more networks or subnets, if you connect to two or more ISP
services, or if you connect to a remote corporate LAN.
Viewing the IP Routing Table
All IP-enabled computers and routers maintain a table of IP
addresses that are commonly accessed by their users. For each
of these destination IP addresses, the table lists the IP address
of the first hop the data should take. This table is known as the
device's routing table.
To view the ADSL Barricade's routing table, click the [Routing]
tab. The [IP Route Table] page appears by default, as shown
in Figure 29:
