Allows the operator to create static routes that will apply to both the Wireless and Ethernet interface of the SM. These routes can be used to route packets to IP addresses on subnets that are not connected to the SM.
2. IP Aliases.
IP aliases can be used by an SM to talk to devices on a subnet that are directly connected to the SM, but are not the same subnet as the subnet of the physical interface. IP aliases are used when there are multiple subnets that communicate over the same physical interface. The operator specifies the IP Alias and a Subnet Mask. IP Aliases apply only to the Ethernet interface of the SM.
Router mode was developed to make configuration of LAN under SM easier.
