Static Route Example
For example, you may require a static route if:
•your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP, and
•you have an ISDN firewall on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This firewall’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100, and
•your company’s network is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your VPN firewall, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your VPN firewall will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your VPN firewall that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN firewall at 192.168.1.100.
In this example:
•The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
