OfficeConnect VPN Firewall User’s Manual Chapter 9. Configuring Routes

9 Configuring Routes

You can use Configuration Manager to define specific routes for your Internet

and network data communication. This chapter describes basic routing concepts

and provides instructions for creating routes.

Note that most users do not need to define routes.

9.1 Overview of IP Routes

The essential challenge of a router is: when it receives data intended for a

particular destination, which next device should it send that data to? When you

define IP routes, you provide the rules that the OfficeConnect Gigabit VPN

Firewall uses to make these decisions.

9.1.1 Do I need to define IP routes?

Most users do not need to define IP routes. On a typical small home or office

LAN, the existing routes that set up the default gateways for your LAN

computers and for the OfficeConnect Gigabit VPN Firewall provide the most

appropriate path for all your Internet traffic.

 On your LAN computers, a default gateway directs all Internet traffic to the

LAN port on the OfficeConnect Gigabit VPN Firewall. Your LAN computers

know their default gateway either because you assigned it to them when

you modified their TCP/IP properties, or because you configured them to

receive the information dynamically from a server whenever they access

the Internet. (Each of these processes is described in the Quick Start

Guide instructions, Part 2.)

 On the OfficeConnect Gigabit VPN Firewall itself, a default gateway is

defined to direct all outbound Internet traffic to a router at your ISP. This

default gateway is assigned automatically by your ISP whenever the

device negotiates an Internet connection. (The process for adding a default

route is described in section 9.3.2 Adding Static Routes.)

You may need to define routes if your home setup includes two or more

networks or subnets, if you connect to two or more ISP services, or if you

connect to a remote corporate LAN.

9.2 Dynamic Routing using RIP (Routing Information

Protocol)

RIP enables routing information exchange between routers; thus, routes are

updated automatically without human intervention. It is recommended that you

enable RIP in the System Services Configuration Page as shown in Figure 9.2.
