Reference Guide for the Model RP114 Web Safe Router
5-10 Advanced Configuration of the Router
Static Route Example
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where
you are employed. This routers address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
Your company’s network is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was
created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local network
for all 192.168.x.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the
134.177.0.0 network, your router will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your
request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the
companys firewall.
Metric Enter the cost in ‘hops’ of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses
hop counts 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 does not have to be precise, but it must be between 1 and 16. In
practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Private Use this field to determine whether the router includes the route to this
remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and
not included in any RIP broadcast. If set to No, the route to this remote node
is propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
