Properties
• Destination Network - The network address of the remote LAN
segment. For standard class "C" LANs, the network address is
the first 3 fields of the Destination IP Address. The 4th (last)
field can be left at 0.
• Network Mask - The Network Mask for the remote LAN seg-
ment. For class "C" networks, the default mask is 255.255.255.0
• Gateway IP Address - The IP Address of the Gateway or Router
which VRT-311 / VRT-311S must use to communicate with the
destination above. (NOT the router attached to the remote seg-
ment.)
• Interface - Normally, this will be "LAN". If NAT is disabled,
the "WAN" option can be used for Routers which are accessed
via the WAN port.
• Metric - The number of "hops" (routers) to pass through to reach
the remote LAN segment. The shortest path will be used. The de-
fault value is 1.

Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to VRT-311 /
VRT-311S, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve
this, the local LAN must be configured to use VRT-311 / VRT-311S as the Default Route or
Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as VRT-311 / VRT-311S.
This router requires that the Default Route is VRT-311 / VRT-311S itself. Typically, routers
have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows.
Destination IP Address
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Network Mask
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Gateway IP Address
The IP Address of VRT-311 / VRT-311S.
