This page lets you set up static routes to connect machines not on the gateway's local network. A system is not on this local network if the third number in its IP address does not match the third number in the gateway's IP address (for example, if you haven't changed the gateway's IP address from 192.168.1.x, a machine whose address does not have 1 as the third number is not on the local network).
The page looks like this when no static routes have been defined:
Destination: The IP address of the remote computer for which to set a static route.
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of the remote network for which to set a static route.
Gateway: The WAN IP address of the gateway to the remote network.
WAN Interface: The WAN interface of the gateway to the remote network.
Add a Static Route
To define a static route, click Add. Another page opens:
Destination: Enter the IP address of the remote computer for which to set a static route.
Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask of the remote network for which to set a static route.
Use gateway IP address: Select this option to use an IP address, and enter the WAN IP address of the gateway to the remote network.
WAN Interface: Select this option to use a WAN interface and enter the WAN interface of the gateway to the remote network.
Specify settings and click Apply when done. This returns you to the previous page, which now shows the new static route data.
Remove a Static Route
To remove a dynamic DNS assignment, select Remove next to the static router and click Apply.
