Chapter 5 - RouteFinder Manager
Static Routing
For each different subnet on your LAN, enter:
IP: Enter the (network/subnet) IP address to which you want to route.
Netmask: Enter the subnet mask of your Network IP address.
Gateway: Enter the IP address of the gateway device linking your network to the
other network/subnet. The IP address should be in the same subnet as
your RF102S. If you are using this device with the LAN-to-LAN
function, the gateway IP should be set as the IP address of the
RouteFinder.
Interface: Select the port (only local network) that the routed packet should pass
through. Select Local Network if you are using a separate router. If
you are using the RF102S with the LAN-to-LAN function, the Interface
should be set as the WAN port that connects you to the other subnet.
Click Insert to save the information to the routing table. To delete this
information, select it from the routing table and click Delete.
Default Gateway: Default gateway is an IP address that all packets are routed to, when
the device is unable to find a route match (the destination IP address of
the packet in the routing table).
Click Add Default Gateway to save the IP address of the default
gateway.
Interface: Select the port (only local network) interface where the gateway is
located.
Routing Table
The routing table stores the routing information so that the RF102S knows how to route the IP
packets to the proper network.
What is the purpose of the routing table?
In the diagram above, the RF102S-1 has the routing information to route between 192.168.3.x
and 192.168.5.x. The device does not have the information about how to route to the 172.168.2.x
network. If you want the RF102S-1 to route to 172.168.2.x, you must add the following
information to the routing table:
IP: 172.168.2.0
Network: 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP: 192.168.5.254
Interface: Ethernet (Local Network)
