Defined IP Static routes are also of benefit when using LAN-to-LAN connections. If
you do not wish to maintain a permanent connection to the remote router and only
wish to dial it on demand, then adding it as a static route will keep the route in the
Routing Table even if it is not actively used for a period that would normally result
in it being aged out.
Also, a Static Route for a remote router that does not support RIP would allow that
remote router to be included in the Routing Tables of the 833IS and of all other
routers on the network that support RIP.
Each entry in the IP static route table contains the following information:
IP Address
The IP address of this network.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask of this network.
Destination Type
Specifies whether the destination type is Network or Host.
Destination Port
Specifies whether the destination is to be reached through the local network or
through a LAN-to-LAN connection.
