packets can be forwarded to their destinations. A static route is used to resolve this problem by providing the Prestige with some static routing information. As a matter of fact, when you configure the Internet Access or a Remote Node, a static route is implicitly created by the Prestige. An example is given below. In the example, stations on the 204.5.1.0/24 subnetwork can access the remote stations using the static route. The route will have a destination of 204.5.1.64/26 with the gateway address being that of the Remote Node (204.5.1.150).

Figure 7-4 Static Routing Example

Note that in normal circumstances, the Prestige will have adequate routing information after you configure the Internet access and Remote Nodes; you do not need to configure additional static routes. You will need to configure static routes only for unusual cases, e.g., subnetting. To create an additional static routes for IP, use Menu 12, Static Route Setup as shown below:
