sends all other data packets into the cable network (insofar as these are not in forbidden
areas):
Enable local routing for this function.
Loc. routing
Local routing enables the router to forward data packets via the local network. The local
routing is necessary if the router, as the default gateway for the workstations receives
packets for destination networks to which it cannot establish a connection itself. If the
router cannot return the address of the appropriate router to the workstation via IMCP, it
will forward the data to the corresponding router itself (see also 'Local Routing'). Since
this setting increases network utilization in the LAN, the default setting is 'Off'.
Setup/IP-router-module/Routing-method
The router offers two methods for IP routing, which can be separately set for IP and ICMP
packets. Both methods are based on the evaluation of the field 'Type-of-service' in the
IP header.
The menu has the following layout:
Routing-method
This option allows you to define the routing method used for IP packets:
If you select 'Normal', all IP packets are handled in the same way as per the routing
specifications of the Internet protocol.
If you select 'Type-of-service', IP packets are placed in the urgent queue or reliable
queue, depending on the contents of the 'Type-of-service' field. All other packets
are placed in the normal send queue. In this way, transmission is guaranteed,
provided that it is possible.
ICMP-routing-
method
This option allows you to define the routing method used for ICMP packets:
If you select 'Normal', the ICMP packets are handled like any other IP packets as per
the routing specifications of the Internet protocol.
If you select 'Reliable', all ICMP packets received are placed in the reliable queue.
