your gateway to use static or dynamic routing. Dynamic routing automatically adjusts how packets
travel on the network, whereas static routing specifies a fixed routing path to neighboring
destinations.
Figure 6.106 Advanced Routing Properties
You can configure the following settings:
Routing Mode Select one of the following routing modes:
Route Use route mode if you want your gateway to function as a router between two networks.
NAPT Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) refers to network address translation
involving the mapping of port numbers, allowing multiple machines to share a single IP address.
Use NAPT if your LAN encompasses multiple devices, a topology that necessitates port
translation in addition to address translation.
Device Metric The device metric is a value used by the gateway to determine whether one route
is superior to another, considering parameters such as bandwidth, delay, and more.
