Title: How to set up custom routing
Post by: BarsMonster on February 24, 2010, 01:06:54 AM: Hi, I have 1Mbit internet provider(ADSL modem at 192.167.0.99 in home LAN network) and 100Mbit city's network (IP range is 10.*.*.*).

I want to set things up so that DGL-4500 (firmware 1.02) route 10.*.*.* to the WAN port, connected to the city's network, and have the rest go to ADSL modem connected to one of LAN ports.

I don't see a way how to set up routing like this... Router does not allow to add rules like 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 to catch all traffic. Any suggestions?

PS. Currently I have DGL4500 with ADSL at WAN port and city's network is at extra DIR-300 router - but it's too slow to handle 100Mbit, hence the reason to put all load on DGL4500 and get rid of secondary router.

Being on DSL I would ensure that your DSL modem, is bridged or set up for transparent connection to the 4500. I have seen this recently that newer DSL modems have the addition of a DCHP router and thus it's handing the 4500 a private 192.168 IP address instead of the public WAN IP address. Setting the DSL modem to hand a public address helps in most cases. Just my 2 cents.

That's the question: I can't add a route with MASK 0.0.0.0 to route all traffic to different IP.

Post by: FurryNutz on March 24, 2010, 01:05:32 PM: What happens when you input that address? I've have never done this however curious if the UI gives an error or states that you need to be with in a certain IP address range and Zero might not fall in to the required range.

Post by: BarsMonster on March 24, 2010, 01:08:11 PM: I am getting route subnet 0.0.0.0 is invalid.
When I am trying to use mask 128.0.0.0 to use 2 rules instead of 1, I am getting "Destination and Gateway should not reside in the same subnet 128.0.0.0"

Post by: FurryNutz on March 24, 2010, 01:39:08 PM: I'm wondering if using Zeros is not a valid input syntax for this router. I would ask one of the moderators on here and check. Let us know what you find out.

Post by: BarsMonster on March 25, 2010, 08:17:44 PM: That was terrible, I have no idea why DGL-4500 does not allow destination IP to be in the subnet I am routing, that really overcomplicates things :-(

I managed to route all traffic to LAN port using this bunch of rules (instead of 1 rule which I would prefer to use here):

   All     1.0.0.0     128.0.0.0 192.167.0.3     1     LAN Edit Delete
   all2    193.0.0.0    255.0.0.0    192.167.0.3    1    LAN    Edit    Delete
   All3    194.0.0.0    254.0.0.0    192.167.0.3    1    LAN    Edit    Delete
   all4    196.0.0.0    252.0.0.0    192.167.0.3    1    LAN    Edit    Delete
   all5    200.0.0.0    248.0.0.0    192.167.0.3    1    LAN    Edit    Delete
   all6    208.0.0.0    240.0.0.0    192.167.0.3    1    LAN    Edit    Delete

Note that it also didn't allowed to add 0.0.0.0/128.0.0.0 rule... SO many troubles due to crazy limitations :-(

Any ideas of making this simpler?

Title: Re: How to set up custom routing
Post by: BarsMonster on March 26, 2010, 04:41:48 AM: Ok, my variant actually does not works as I needed.

Now I can't route 10.*.*.* to WAN.
I can't add rule 10.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 gateway 10.13.3.1 because it says "Destination and gateway should not reside in the same 10.0.0.0 network".

What's the use of having ability to add routes if you can't really do anything useful with it and everything useful is restricted?
