Cirkuit Planet IPX-300 Manuel D’Utilisation

Static routes are special routes that the network administrator manually enters into the router 

configuration for local network management. You could build an entire network based on static routes. 

The problem with doing this is that when a network failure occurs, the static route will not change 

without you performing the change. This could be IP-PBX if the failure occurs when the administrator is 

not available.   

The route table allows the user to configure and define all the static routes supported by the router. 

 

 

Figure 4-12. Static route settings 

 

Enable/Disable the static route. 

Indicates the type of route as follows, Host for local connection and 

Net for network connection. 

Defines the base IP address (Network Number) that will be 

compared with the destination IP address (after an AND with 

NetMask) to see if this is the target route. 

The subnet mask that will be AND'd with the destination IP address 

and then compared with the Target to see if this is the target route.

The IP address of the next hop router that will be used to route 

traffic for this route. If this route is local (defines the locally 

connected hosts and Type = Host) then this IP address MUST be 

the IP address of the router. 

Insert a new Static Router entry or update a specified entry.

NAT 

NAT (Network Address Translation) serves three purposes:   

1. 

Provides security by hiding internal IP addresses. Acts like firewall.   

2. 

Enables a company to access internal IP addresses. Internal IP addresses that are only available 

within the company will not conflict with public IP. 

3. 

Allows a company to combine multiple ISDN connections into a single internet connection.
