(Answer) (Category) NetMAXFAQ : (Category) Routing / Fire Wall / Proxy Cache :
Why does a route I entered not get created, even though NetMAX doesn't give me any errors?

When you enter routes in the advanced routing table you need to specify networks as the destination and not individual computers. Your networks must also match the netmask you are entering. The netmax will not provide an error if you do this, however it will not enter the routes into the system.

For example:
Dest=10.8.2.2
Netmask=255.255.255.0
Router=192.168.8.1

This would be invalid because a Class C (255.255.255.0) network always has a network that ends in x.x.x.0, this example shows a computer on the network and not the network itself.

This would work if the following were entered:
Dest=10.8.2.0
Netmask=255.255.255.0
Router=192.168.8.1

You would now be able to reach the computer 10.8.2.2 through router 192.168.8.1
