In some cases, you may have another router behind the Netopia Internet Gateway with another network behind it. If this network also needs access to the internet, then the Netopia internet router will need to have a static route configured into the routing table. This Quick Guide will give you step-by-step instructions on that configuration.
Firmware Reference
v7.2 and later -- Netopia 3300 Series
Before You Start
Browse into the Netopia's web interface at http://192.168.1.254 (if using the default IP setting). If your network has a different IP addressing scheme, modify this accordingly.
Once logged in, click on the Expert Mode link in the left-hand side menu (if that link is visible). In the Expert Mode Confirmation screen click on Ok to continue. This menu bar will be visible at the top of your screen if you are in Expert Mode.
Remember to click the button to save any entries. Hitting the back button without clicking will undo any changes.
Once you have completed your configuration, click on the symbol in your upper right hand corner to validate the changes. Then click on Save and Restart.

Configuration for Static Routes
Click on Configure in the upper Menu bar.
Click on Advanced.
Under the Network Configuration heading, click on the IP Static Routes selection.
Click on the Add button.
In the IP Static Route Entry box:
Enter the Network Address of the Destination Network.
Enter the Netmask of the remote network.
Select IP Address for Interface Type.
Enter the Gateway of the remote network's router. (Must be on the same subnet as the Cayman's Lan.
Leave Metric and RIP Advertise at the default settings.
Click on Submit.
Click on Add more IP Static Routes.
From here you can Add more static routes, or highlight to Edit or Delete existing routes.
If completed with the configuration, click on the symbol in the upper R/H corner. This will confirm that the changes are valid for your network.
Confirm that the Validation Passed, and then click on Save and Restart.
The workstations on the remote network will now be able to access the internet.
Configuring the Static Route via Telnet
From Windows, click on Start ---> Run --->
and type in telnet 192.168.1.254, assuming that the ethernet interface of the router is still set to the factory default address. If the ethernet address has been changed, then telnet into that address.
Click O K and open the telnet session.
NOTE: For MacIntosh users, open your telnet application, type in the appropriate IP address in the Host/Session Name
and proceed from here.
Telnet/Serial Connection Configuration Screen
At the prompt type configure and hit enter.
Type ip and hit enter.
Type static-routes and hit enter.
Type set and hit enter.
Type in the destination-network address. (i.e. 10.10.10.0). PLEASE NOTE: This address is the network address of the remote router's ethernet interface. Hit enter.
Type in the netmask for that secondary network and hit enter.
At interface, hit enter.
Type in the gateway-address for the static route. This will be the address on the remote router that is on the same subnet as the local area network of the Cayman Internet Gateway. (i.e. 192.168.1.253). Hit enter.
At metric, hit enter.
At this point, you can type set again to configure another static route.
If you've completed the static routing configuration, type quit to finalize your changes. You will be prompted to save the modified configurations. Type yes and hit enter.
Type restart and hit enter. Confirm the restart to make the static route take effect. The router will reboot itself.
PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to delete the static route:
Go to the static-routes prompt (see step #5 above).
Type delete destination-network followed by the network IP address that was entered at step #7 above.
Type save and hit enter.
The static route should now be removed from the routing table in the Cayman. To verify it has been removed, go back to the static-routes prompt, type in view and hit enter. The route will no longer appear.
Type quit to exit the configuration shell.
Type restart and hit enter. This will finalize the configuration change and reboot the router.
Conclusion
You have now configured a static route in the Netopia router. This will allow a separate network residing behind the internet gateway's local network to still have access to the internet via the Netopia router.
