Broadband Products xDSL/Cable User Manual

 

 

You can manually configure a “static” route to remote networks. A Static Route will override 
any route learned via the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), if activated. Note that the special 
entry, the Default Route, is created automatically during the Setup Wizard process. If the de-
fault route is deleted unintentionally, you must step through the Setup Wizard to restore it. 
Destination IP address: The destination IP address of the route. 
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of the destination IP address. 
Gateway IP address: Configure the IP address of the specified gateway that will be used to 
reach the Destination IP address. 
Hop Count: The sum of the hops for this route. This is usually the count of the number of 
routers an IP packet must pass through to reach the destination IP address. 

 

Some Internet applications such as Internet messaging and games, Videoconferencing, Inter-
net phones, etc. require special consideration when used from a privately addressed PC. 
When the router sees a privately addressed PC attempting to make connection with a Trigger 
Port using the TCP or UDP protocols, it will use the settings configured on this page to allow 
connections from the Internet to multiple ports on the private PC. This screen specifies the 
public ports to be opened for these applications.
