Chapter 8 Static Route Setup

This chapter shows you how to configure static routes with your ExpWave.

8.1 Introduction

Static routes tell the ExpWave routing information that it cannot learn automatically through other means. This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN.

Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the ExpWave has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the ExpWave knows about network N2 in the following diagram through remote node Router 1. However, the ExpWave is unable to route a packet to network N3 because it doesn't know that there is a route through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2). The static routes are for you to tell the ExpWave about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
