Gateway/LAN Gateway
Address
Click this drop-down menu to select the interface to use for sending the packet, if it
matches this route. Only active gateways can be used to create a static route.
Metric Displays the RIP metric to be assigned to this route if/when it is advertised using
RIP. The metric is equivalent to the RIP metric 0-15; it is used to differentiate routes
with the same address and mask. Lower metrics are preferred. The RIP column
indicates whether a static route should be advertised via RIP.
RIP Config Click this drop-down menu to select whether or not to advertise the static route,
using RIP. (RIP must also be enabled before the route will be advertised.)
• NEVER
• ALWAYS
Save to Modem If checked, then the route will be made permanent by saving it to flash memory. If
not checked, the route will disappear the next time the Gateway restarts.
add Click this button to add a newly created route.
14.4.8 RIP
The following screen will appear if you select Advanced > WAN > RIP from the main menu. This screen allows
you to change your Gateway’s RIP configuration. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a dynamic inter-network
routing protocol primarily used in interior routing environments. A dynamic routing protocol, as opposed to a static
routing protocol, automatically discovers routes and builds routing tables. If you change the settings in this screen,
click save and then OK. If you click reset or Cancel, the screen will return to its previous settings.
