Sometimes it is useful to be able to add a second gateway address that can actually route traffic. In Linux you would do something like: " route add 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.3.254....". The DrayTek web interface will not accept this route, but you can trick it.
Instead of trying to force 0.0.0.0 into the Destination IP Address, we simply put anything other than 0.0.0.0 in that field but still put 0.0.0.0 in the subnet mask. | Status/Action | Empty/Clear Active/Add Inactive/Disable | | Destination IP Address | 192.0.0.0 | | Subnet Mask | 0.0.0.0 | | Gateway IP Address | 192.168.3.254 | | Network Interface | LAN | |
The router will modify the Destination IP Address to fit the subnet mask and you will achieve the result you want:
| Status/Action | Empty/Clear Active/Add Inactive/Disable | | Destination IP Address | 0.0.0.0 | | Subnet Mask | 0.0.0.0 | | Gateway IP Address | 192.168.3.254 | | Network Interface | LAN | |
If you ever want to delete that route, you will need to do the reverse. First put in something non-zero, then delete it.
