6.1.2 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 inst ance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in t he
following diagram through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to
network N3 because it doesn’t know that there is a route through remote node Router 2. The static routes
are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
Figure 6-4 Example of Static Routing Topology
To configure an IP static route, use Menu 12, Static Route Setup, as displayed below.
From Menu 12, select one of the available IP static routes to open Menu 12.1 - IP Static Route Setup, as
shown below.
