IP Router - Release 1.8 4-11
Profile Directory: Local ProfileStatic Networks
To continue with this example, if Network B is not configured to advertise Network C
to Network A, then Network A will not dynamically learn of Network C’s existence. If
you wish to establish a route on Network A to Network C, you must define a static route
on Network A that indicates that Network C may be accessed through remote Adit B.
To set up a static route, you must define the following routing information:
lThe address of the network you wish to reach;
lHow far away from the local LAN the network is located (in terms of metric
measurement or hops, depending on the protocol)
lWhether the network can be reached on the lo cal LAN (via the LAN port) or
through a remote unit.
If you are using the local LAN, you will also need to define the address (either IP or
MAC, depending on the protocol) of the first gateway (i.e. Adit or router) you will use
to reach the network you are defining.
It is important to note that if the static network is reached via a remote unit, it must be
defined by choosing the SETUP <Static Networks> option on the corresponding
Remote (WAN) Profile Setup screen. Static networks that are reached via the local
LAN must be defined by choosing the SETUP <Static Networks> option on the Local
(LAN) Profile Setup screen.
NOTE: All static routes are considered filters and will be applied toward the
maximum allowable number of 500 filters.
