WAN Configuration 4-15
4.5.2 Creating User Defined Routes
The User Defined Routes area of the screen allows the administrator to view, add or delete internal static
(dedicated) routes, and to enable or disable routes that are generated using the Routing Information Protocol
(RIP). If RIP is enabled, this table can also include routes that RIP generates.
This table also includes internal static routes that the administrator adds. Internal static routes are dedicated
routes for data that travels from the WAN, through the switch, and to a specified subnet. Such routes are
supplemental to the default routes already set up for each of the subnets.
1. Click the Add button to create a new table entry.
2. Specify the destination IP address, subnet mask, and gateway information for the internal static route.
3. Select an enabled subnet from the Interface column’s drop-down menu to complete the table entry.
Information in the Metric column is automatically generated, and is used by router protocols to
determine the best hop routes.
4. Click the Apply button to save changes.
4.5.3 Setting the RIP Configuration
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an interior gateway protocol that specifies how routers exchange
routing-table information. The Routing screen also allows the administrator to select the type of RIP and the
type of RIP authentication used by the switch. To set or view the RIP configuration, click the RIP
Configuration button. The following subscreen appears.
Subnet 2 If Subnet 2 is enabled, sets it as the Default Gateway Interface for all unspecified routes.
Subnet 3 If Subnet 3 is enabled, sets it as the Default Gateway Interface for all unspecified routes.
Subnet 4 If Subnet 4 is enabled, sets it as the Default Gateway Interface for all unspecified routes.
Subnet 5 If Subnet 5 is enabled, sets it as the Default Gateway Interface for all unspecified routes.
Subnet 6 If Subnet 6 is enabled, sets it as the Default Gateway Interface for all unspecified routes.
default Sets the gateway to default for all unspecified routes.
