N450 Wireless Router WNR2500 • Your company's network address 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 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the company's firewall denies the request. In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. In this example: • The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses. • The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. • A metric value of one works because the ISDN router is on the LAN. • Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.  To set up a static route: 1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Static Routes. The Static Routes screen displays. 2. Click the Add button. The screen adjusts: 3. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only.) Advanced Settings 99

Your company’s network address 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 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a
device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP
forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the company’s firewall
denies the request.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be
accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. In this example:
•
The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
•
The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
•
A metric value of one works because the ISDN router is on the LAN.
•
Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
To set up a static route:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Static Routes
.
The Static Routes screen displays.
2.
Click the
Add
button.
The screen adjusts:
3.
In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only.)
