Some routes are added by default by the NHD1W on initialization such as the
Ethernet subnet route for routing to a device on the Ethernet subnet. A PPP route is
also added upon obtaining a WAN PPP connection.
To add static routes:
1. Enter the required values in the fields for the route being added.
2. Click Add.
Note: You must increment the “Route no” by 1 for each route in the “Route no” field;
otherwise that route will be overwritten.
The Active Routing table at the bottom will then show the new route added.
To delete Static Routes, click the “Delete Entry” text (in blue).
RIP
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is used for advertising routes to other routers.
Thus, all the routes in the NHD1W’s routing table are advertised to other nearby
routers. For example, the route for the NHD1W’s Ethernet subnet could be advertised
to a router on the PPP interface side, so that a router on this network will know how to
route to a device on the NHD1W’s Ethernet subnet. You will need to add the routes
appropriately in the Static Routes section on page 44.
