The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version RUT9_R_00.07.06.16.
Note: click here for the old style WebUI (FW version RUT9XX_R_00.06.09.5 and earlier) user manual page.

Summary

The Routing page is used to set up static and dynamic routes, routing tables and rules.

This manual page provides an overview of the Routing windows in RUT955 devices.

If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

Static Routes

Routes ensure that network traffic finds its path to a specified host or network, both in local and remote network scenarios. Static routes are simply fixed routing entries in the routing table(s).

This section provides the possibility to configure custom static routes.

Static IPv4 Routes

The Static IPv4 Routes section displays a list of user defined static IPv4 routes and provides the possibility to add and configure new ones. The list is empty by default.

To add a new route and begin editing, simply click the 'Add' button. Refer to the table below for information on static route configuration fields.

Field	Value	Description
Interface	network interface; default: lan	Network interface of the target network.
Target*	ip4; default: none	Destination network address.
IPv4-Netmask*	netmask; default: none	A netmask is used to divide an IP address into sub-networks (subnets). Combined together, the 'Netmask' and 'Target' values define the exact destination network or IP address to which this route applies.
IPv4-Gateway	ip4; default: none	A gateway can be any machine in a network that is capable of serving as an access point to another network. Traffic that matches this route will be directed over the IP address specified in this field.
Metric	integer [0..255]; default: none	The metric value acts as a measurement of priority. If a packet about to be routed matches two or more rules, the one with the lower metric is applied.
MTU	integer [64..9000]; default: 1500	Sets the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. It is the largest size of a protocol data unit (PDU) that can be transmitted in a single network layer transaction.
Route Type	unicast \| local \| broadcast \| multicast \| unreachable \| prohibit \| backhole \| anycast \| -- custom -- ; default: unicast	Selects route type. Each type specifies a different behavior for the route: unicast - most common type of route, simply describes a path to a destination. local - routes of this type are added to the 'local' routing table and used only for locally hosted IPs. broadcast - routes of this type are added to the 'local' routing table and used by link layer devices that support the broadcast address principle. multicast - used for distribution of multicast traffic. unreachable - sends an ICMP "unreachable" response to the source address when a request for a routing decision returns a "destination with an unreachable route type" message. prohibit - used to prohibit traffic to specified host or network. When a destination is prohibited, the kernel sends a 'Network is unreachable' response the source address. blackhole - packets that match this type of route are discarded without any response. anycast - provides a possibility to route incoming requests to multiple different network locations. -- custom -- - does not use any of the predefined route types.

*Additional notes on 'Target' & 'Netmask' fields:

You can define a rule that applies to a single IP like this:

Target: some IP
Netmask: 255.255.255.255

Furthermore, you can create target/netmask combinations that apply to a range of IPs. Refer to the table below for examples.

Target	Netmask	Network range
192.168.2.0	255.255.255.240	192.168.2.0 - 192.168.2.15
192.168.2.240	255.255.255.240	192.168.2.240 - 192.168.2.255
192.168.2.161	255.255.255.0	192.168.2.0 - 192.168.55.255
192.168.0.0	255.255.0.0	192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
192.168.2.161	255.255.255.255	192.168.2.161

Policy Based Routing

The Policy Based Routing section is used to configure policy-based routing infrastructures, which are usually used in more complex or specific networking scenarios.

Routing Tables

Routing Tables store network routes. Tables are checked before every routing decision until a matching route is found. Having multiple tables allows the user to set up a policy routing infrastructure. Policy-based routing is a technique where routing decisions are based on policies (rule) set by the user.

The 'Routing Tables' section displays user created routing tables. By default, the list is empty.

To create a new table, look to the 'Add New Routing Table' section below. Enter an ID for the new table in the range of [1..252], enter a custom name and click the 'Add' button. The new table should appear in the 'Routing Tables' list. Click the 'Edit' button next to it to begin editing.

Routing Action	Prohibit \| Unreachable \| Blackhole \| Throw; default: Prohibit	When traffic matches this rule, the action specified in this field will be executed. This field is visible only when 'Matched Traffic Action' is set to Routing Action.

Dynamic Routes

Dynamic Routing provides the possibility to route data based on current network or device state instead of relying on static entries in the routing table. The RUT955 device supports these dynamic routing protocols:

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)
RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)
NHRP (Next Hop Resolution Protocol)

Each protocol is described in the sections below.

Note: Dynamic Routing is additional software that can be installed from the System → Package Manager page.

BGP

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information among autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet. The protocol is often classified as a path vector protocol but is sometimes also classed as a distance-vector routing protocol. The Border Gateway Protocol makes routing decisions based on paths, network policies, or rule-sets configured by a network administrator and is involved in making core routing decisions.

RIP

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employ the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from source to destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15, which limits the size of networks that RIP can support. A hop count of 16 is considered an infinite distance and the route is considered unreachable. RIP implements the split horizon, route poisoning and holddown mechanisms to prevent incorrect routing information from being propagated.
