Chapter 14 Customize Your Network Settings address, so here enter 172.30.30.1. Subnet Mask: Determines the destination network with the destination IP address. If the destination is a single IP address, enter 255.255.255.255; otherwise, enter the subnet mask of the corresponding network IP. In the example, the destination network is a single IP, so here enter 255.255.255.255. Default Gateway: The IP address of the gateway device to which the data packets will be sent. This IP address must be on the same subnet with the router's IP which sends out data. In the example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of Router B and then to the Server, so the default gateway should be 192.168.0.2. Interface: Determined by the port (WAN/LAN) that sends out data packets. In the example, the data are sent to the gateway through the LAN port of Router A, so LAN should be selected. Description: Enter a description for this static routing entry. 5. Click Save. 6. Check the System Routing Table below. If you can find the entry you've set, the static routing is set successfully. Done! Open a web browser on your PC. Enter the company server's IP address to visit the company network. 14. 7.
