These settings are provided to deal with any
non-standard network situations, or to provide additional options to Advanced
Users and Network Administrators.
If your LAN already has a DHCP Server, and you wish
to continue using it, the following configuration is required.
·
The DHCP Server function in the Duolinks SW24 Series
Load Balancer must be disabled. This
setting is on the LAN & DHCP screen.
·
Your DHCP Server must be configured to provide the
Duolinks SW24 Series Load Balancer's LAN IP address as the "Default
Gateway".
·
Your DHCP Server must provide correct DNS addresses
to the PCs on your LAN.
This section is
only relevant if your LAN has other routers or gateways.
·
If you do not have other routers or gateways on your
LAN, you can skip the Static Routing page.
·
If your LAN has other gateways and routers, you must
configure the Static Routing screen as described below. You will also need to
configure all the other Routers in your network in the same way.
Please refer to the constructor documentation provided with your other routers
or gateways on how to configure static routing options on those.

Note:
If there are entries in the Routing table with an
Index of zero (0), these are system specific entries. You cannot modify or
delete them.

Dynamic Routing |
·
RIP v2 – RIP is a dynamic routing protocol which is used to
direct traffic over the network. Disable it if you do not need to use it. · LAN, WAN1, WAN2 – If enabled, any WAN or LAN can execute RIP function. |
|
Static Routing |
If there is more than one router on a network,
this Routing table must be configured because the router needs to know what
packet goes to which router. A routing table entry is required for each LAN
segment on the network. ·
Network Address – Network Address is the address of the
destination network segment. ·
Netmask – The subnet mask used to select the bits from an
IP Address that corresponds to the subnet. ·
Gateway – The IP router that the packets destined for the
subnet with Network Address will be forwarded to. ·
Interface – The device's port that the packets destined for
the subnet with Network Address will be passed through. ·
Metric – The number of routers that must be traversed to
reach the destination network segment. |

Routing List |
List of prevously
configured static routes. |
All traffic for devices not on the local LAN must be
forwarded to the Duolinks SW24 Series Load Balancer, so that they can be
forwarded to the Internet. This is done by configuring other routers to use the
Duolinks SW24 Series Load Balancer as the Default
Route or Default Gateway, as
illustrated by the example below.

Example
For the LAN shown
above, with 2 routers and 3 LAN segments, the Duolinks SW24 Series Load Balancer
requires 2 entries as follows.
