Routing rules can be added, edited, or deleted from the Routing screen. To add
a router, click New Route. The “Route Settings” screen appears.
When adding a routing rule, the following parameters must be specified:
Rulet Name - Select the type of network from the drop-down list.
Destinationt - The destination is the destination host, subnet address,
network address, or default route. The destination for a default route
is 0.0.0.0.
Netmaskt - The network mask is used in conjunction with the destination to
determine when a route is used.
Gatewayt - Enter the FiOS Router’s IP address.
Metrict - A measurement of the preference of a route. Typically, the lowest
metric is the most preferred route. If multiple routes exist to a given
destination network, the route with the lowest metric is used.
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Multicasting
The FiOS Router provides support for IGMP multicasting. A multicast is simply a
message that is sent simultaneously to a pre-defined group of recipients. When
joining a multicast group, all messages addressed to the group will be received
by the user, much like when an email message is sent to a mailing list. To
activate IGMP multicasting:
Select 1. Routing in the Advanced screen.
Activate the “Internet Group Management Protocol” check-box. 2.
Click 3. Apply.
