Loc.-routing

Local routing enables the router to forward data packets via the local network. The local routing is necessary if the router, as the default gateway for the workstations receives packets for destination networks to which it cannot establish a connection itself. If the router cannot return the address of the appropriate router to the workstation via IMCP, it will forward the data to the corresponding router itself (see also 'Local Routing'). Since this setting increases network utilization in the LAN, the default setting is 'Off'.
