Routing
• If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" page
completely.
• If the DRG600-WiFi is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the "Routing" page
even if your LAN has other Routers.
• If your LAN has a standard Router on your LAN, and the DRG600-WiFi is to act as a Gateway for all
LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.
• If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN segments use each
Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure the Static Routing table
instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)
• If you are using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, you must enable RIP on the
Wireless Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:
o Open Routing and Remote Access
o In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access , [server name], IP Routing, RIP
o In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 2, and then
click "Properties".
o On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and
Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2".
