To add a new route, first enter the details using the table below for reference. When you are satisfied with the details 
entered, click 

 to make the addition. If the route already exists, or aliases (overlaps) an existing route, you 

will be prompted to correct the problem and try again. 

Use these fields to define the type of IP addresses to 
which this route applies. 

The IP address pattern must be in the dot-separated 
IPv4 format, while the mask length is chosen from a 
drop-down list. 

The mask field specifies how many bits of the 
address are fixed; unfixed bits must be set to zero 
in the address specified. 

To route all IP addresses in the range 
192.168.4.128 to 192.168.4.255 for example, 
specify the IP address as 192.168.4.128 and the 
mask length as 25, to indicate that all but the last 
seven bits address are fixed. 

Use this field to control how packets destined for 
addresses matching the specified pattern are routed. 
You may select Port A, Port B or Gateway. If the 
latter option is selected, you must specify the IP 
address of the gateway to which you want packets 
to be directed. 

Selecting Port A results in matching packets being 
routed to Port A's default gateway (see 

). Selecting Port B will cause 

matching packets to be routed to Port B's default 
gateway. 

If Ethernet Port B is disabled, the option to route 
packets to Port B will be disabled. 

Configured routes are listed below the Add IP route controls. For each route, the following details are shown: 

• 

The IP address pattern and mask 

• 

Where matching packets will be routed, with the possibilities being:  

o 

Port A - meaning the default gateway configured for Port A 

o 

Port B - meaning the default gateway configured for Port B 

o 

IP address

 - a specific address has been chosen 

• 

Whether the route has been configured automatically as a consequence of other settings, or added by the user as 
described above. 

The default route is configured automatically in correspondence with the default gateway preference field (see 

) and cannot be deleted. Any packets not covered by manually configured routes will be routed according to 

this route. 

Manually configured routes may be deleted by selecting the appropriate checkbox and clicking 

. 

If the default gateway preference is set to Port B (for example) and that port is disabled, the default route will be updated 
automatically to route packets not covered by any manually configured route via Port A.
