Prestige 1100 Internet Access Router

5-6 Remote Node TCP/IP Configuration

5.3 Static Route Setup

Static routes tell the Prestige routing information that it cannot learn automatically through other means.

This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is beyond the one that is

directly connected to a remote node.

Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the Prestige

has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the

following diagram through remote node R1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to network

N3 because it doesn’t know that there is a route through the same remote node R1 (via gateway R2). The

static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

Figure 5-4 Example of Static Routing Topology

To configure an IP static route, use Menu 12, Static Route Setup, as displayed below.
