Destination IP Address: This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination of
packets routed by this rule.
IP Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP Address: Enter the IP address of the gateway. A gateway does the actual forwarding of
the packets. Enter the gateway’s IP address in the field or select which PVC you wish to act as a
gateway.
The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your ADSL Router that will forward the packet to the
destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Router; over
Internet (WAN), the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.
Metric: Metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP Routing uses hop count as
the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. Enter a number that
approximates the cost for this link. The number need not to be precise, but it must between 1 and 15. In
practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Announced in RIP: This parameter determines if the ADSL router includes the router to this remote
node in its RIP broadcasts. If you choose Yes, the router in this remote node will be propagated to other
hosts through RIP broadcasts. If you choose No, this route is kept private and is not included in the RIP
broadcasts.
When you have finished making changes, click on SAVE to save your changes, DELETE to delete the
rule with the parameters you set, BACK to return to the previous screen or CANCEL to exit without
saving.
6.3 NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method for disguising the private IP addresses you use on
your LAN as the public IP address you use on the Internet. You define NAT rules that specify exactly
how and when to translate between public and private IP addresses. Simply select this option to setup
the NAT function for your ADSL router.
