LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway User Guide 
Routing 
 
Overview 
• 
If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" 
page completely. 
• 
If the LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN 
segment, ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers. 
• 
If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the LevelOne Broad-
band VPN Gateway is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing 
Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table. 
• 
If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN seg-
ments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure 
the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.) 
• 
If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the Leve-
lOne Broadband VPN Gateway, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are 
correct: 
• 
Open Routing and Remote Access  
• 
In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access, [server name], IP Routing, 
RIP  
• 
In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 
2, and then click "Properties".  
• 
On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and 
Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2". 
 
Routing Screen 
The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Other screen. 
Using this Screen 
Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routing 
Table, as explained above, although is it possible to use both methods simultaneously. 
Static Routing Table 
• 
If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your 
Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached.  
• 
The other Routers must also be configured. See Configuring Other Routers on your LAN 
later in this chapter for further details and an example.
