Static Routing
Overview
• If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" page completely.
• If the Broadband VPN Gateway 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 (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the Broadband VPN Gateway 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 using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the Broadband VPN Gateway, and ensure the
following Windows 2000 settings are correct:
• Open Routing and Remote Access
• In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access, [server name], IP Routing, RIP
• In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 2, and then click "Properties".
• On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and Incoming packet protocol to "RIP ver-
sion 1 and 2".
Static Routing Screen
Using this Screen
Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routing Table, as explained above, although is it
possible to use both methods simultaneously.
Static Routing Table
• If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your Network, other than the segment to
which this device is attached.
• The other Routers must also be configured.
